Outreach programs

Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children Mobile training center

Our fully equipped mobile simulation RV has an ER/hospital room and an ambulance. We offer simulation training for hospital staff, EMS, school nurses, and athletic trainers. We can train teams individually or offer combined training, where we run simulations from the field, to the ambulance and then transfer care to the ER. Utilizing high-fidelity simulation manikins (pregnant, adolescent, child, newborn, and a preemie) we can offer a wide-range of clinical functionality, promoting critical thinking and teaching stabilization skills for airway, breathing and circulation.
