Clinical Simulation serves up MOCA
Some mornings, you have coffee. With UAB Clinical Simulation, you have MOCA (Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesia).

Ultrasound guided peripheral intravenous (USGPIV) line insertion is considered beyond basic practice by the Alabama Board of Nursing. Fortunately, UAB Clinical Simulation offers procedural simulations in that same vein.
In terms of improving patient care and safety, UAB Clinical Simulation goes above and beyond — including for those going under.
When it comes to providing exceptional simulations for all members of the health-care team, UAB Clinical Simulation delivers — literally.
For instance, Clinical Simulation’s Code Skills Out of Lab program effectively brings the lab to the learners.
As the UAB Emergency Department prepares to open its new mobile care units, an interprofessional health-care team thought to “SimFirst.”
It’s the motto of UAB Clinical Simulation, which recently hosted a series of sims in the new units.
As part of Quality Week, which ran Oct. 15-20, Clin Sim hosted the Sim Room of Errors, an exercise open to all members of UAB Medicine, in which participants identify simulated patient safety errors that could negatively impact patient care.
The setting may be virtual, but the lessons are real. UAB Clinical Simulation has offered virtual reality learning since 2019, providing an ever-expanding variety of modules to health-care team members across UAB Medicine.
There’s always room for Jell-O — especially in procedural simulation. When UAB Clinical Simulation’s Ca’Nesia Jackson thought to combine gelatin with water beads, the result wasn’t edible, but instead educational.
UAB Clinical Simulation encourages all members of the health care team to “SimFirst.” Learners from two Department of Interprofessional Practice and Training (DIPT) programs did just that — and in more ways than one.
This past July, UAB Clinical Simulation welcomed Briana Miller, M.D., to its team as a simulation fellow. Specifically, Miller is completing the SimUAB® Simulation Fellowship, a year-long program that prepares the fellow to assume a leadership position in delivering and managing a health-care simulation program.
