Conducting emergency simulations within the oral and maxillofacial surgery setting is imperative for enhancing resident education and establishing the legitimacy of the OMS practice model. The presenters advocate for a standardized, reproducible simulation model, as implemented by the OMS residency program at Virginia Commonwealth University. This training model aims to enhance resident competency and promote widespread adoption of team-based simulation through a robust, scalable educational intervention adaptable across institutions. Developing emergency simulation training enhances resident preparedness for frequently encountered OMS emergencies, reinforces the rigor of the solo-provider anesthesia model and supports national efforts towards training standardization. This session aims to teach programs how to implement this high-yield educational strategy into their curriculum.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
Understand standards of simulations.
Build a simulation curriculum that fits their educational objectives.
Understand the larger implications of anesthesia simulation training in residency education.
