Introduction & Target
Audience
The Vanderbilt Department of Anesthesiology, in partnership
with the Center for Experiential Learning and Assessment
(CELA) at Vanderbilt University Medical Center offers
realistic, immersive patient simulation education. This
course is intended for American Board of Anesthesiology
Diplomates seeking to fulfill their Practice Performance
Assessment and Improvement (PPAI) requirement for the
American Board of Anesthesiologists (ABA) Maintenance of
Certification in Anesthesiology (MOCA®) Program.
This course fulfills the simulation education requirement of
Part 4 of MOCA®. The Vanderbilt University Simulation
Program has been endorsed by the American Society of
Anesthesiologists Simulation Education Network to provide
these courses.
Course Description
The eight-hour course follows the requirements of the
ASA Committee on Simulation Education. Participants
will practice individually and in teams to manage a series
of simulated events in a variety of patient care settings.
Course faculty will include at least two board-certified
anesthesiologists experienced in simulation-based training.
Participants will have an orientation to the simulation
equipment before providing care to simulated patients. Each
participant will take the lead as the primary decision maker
on at least one simulated event. Simulations typically include
the use of a high-fidelity patient simulator (such as Laerdal
SimMan 3G™) as well as simulated clinicians and/or patients
(actors with scripted roles) and routine clinical equipment.
Learning Objectives
After participating in this CME activity, participants should be
able to:
•
Manage a patient undergoing anesthesia who experiences a
hemodynamic critical event.
•
Manage a patient undergoing anesthesia who experiences a
respiratory critical event.
•
Describe and discuss optimal teamwork, leadership, and
communication skills required during crisis management.
•
Perform an effective handover.
MOCA Credit Requirements
To fulfill the American Board of Anesthesiology’s
(ABA) Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology
Program (MOCA®) Part 4, you will need to
complete an ASA online evaluation within three days
of the simulation course. In addition, you must reply
to an ASA email survey that asks you the status of any
changes or enhancements to your practice planned as a
result of the simulation training.
Each simulation will be videotaped for learning purposes. After
each simulated event, there will be a debriefing session during
which participants will discuss opportunities for improvement in
both clinical and teamwork skills.

About the CELA Facility
The Center for Experiential Learning and Assessment
(CELA) at Vanderbilt University Medical Center is an
11,000-square-foot facility encompassing the third and
fourth floors of Medical Research Building IV on the
Vanderbilt campus. The simulation training facility is
home to both the Program in Human Simulation and
the Simulation Technologies Program.
The center offers a wide range of simulation
technologies, including computerized mannequins that
can reproduce routine and critical clinical situations.
One floor of the two-story facility includes 12 clinic
exam rooms, and the other is flexible space that
triples as a six-bed ED, a four-bed ICU, or a couple of
operating rooms — all fully monitored by computercontrolled audio/video equipment.
