Simulation affords students and clinicians the opportunity to learn, practice, and improve clinical skills in a controlled setting without incurring risks to patient safety. However, many simulation models are costly. We created a simple, low-cost and reusable pelvic model that can be used to teach learners in a group setting or individually with the assistance of a guide.
Agenda: In this workshop, we will share highlights of our experience developing this pelvic model. We will describe our experience using it with residents and students at our own institution, as well as in the low resource setting of Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia.
Interactive component: Participants will work in small groups to construct the pelvic model. They will create a clinical-based, bite-sized teaching session using the model to illustrate the main points. Groups will reconvene and demonstrate the session they developed.
Take home product: Pelvic model materials and instruction manual.
