The Inova OB-GYN Residency Program has a robust simulation curriculum. Every month residents partake in programs aimed at specialized skills training, interprofessional teamwork drills, and enhancing patient/family communication. The residency simulation curricula have achieved accreditation and certification through the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, the American College of Surgeons, Fundamentals of Laparoscopy and the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Residents have also been actively involved in simulation educational research and have presented and published in national conferences and peer-reviewed journals. Below is a sample of some of our OB-GYN Residency simulation programs.
