By Kathleen Davitt, nurse educator, Naval Hospital Jacksonville.

"Our state-of-the-art low-, medium-, and high-fidelity human-like simulators provide our Navy Medicine health care professionals with a broad range of team and individual training for childbirth, cardiac arrest, and perioperative complications. We also use life-like body part models for simulating procedural tactics such as lumbar or epidural punctures, abdominal ultrasounds, injections, and arterial line placements. For a more realistic approach, we conduct these training scenarios in actual patient care areas—increasing familiarization and proficiency. And for our military and civilian staff who may deploy to combat zones or on humanitarian missions, we also use specialized simulators that replicate extensive trauma victims, likely encountered while deployed."
