This book is a curriculum that is essentially an easy-to-follow educational instruction manual. It is a ready-made simulation program that any instructor, whether they are a physician in training or in practice, can read and execute. It is designed so that an instructor can select a topic, open that chapter, and with appropriate simulation equipment and staff, run an entire simulation scenario from start to finish.

Each chapter is a unique medical case that concludes with an associated scoring rubric for learners. It sets clear expectations for clinical knowledge as well as leadership and communication skills. Students can also use the scoring rubrics as self-evaluations to identify areas for improvement.

Anesthesiology Simulation presents classic index cases that every anesthesiologist, general surgeon, and obstetrician/gynecologist should know how to handle. These are simulation cases that were written to be done together, with surgeons or obstetricians collaborating with anesthesiologists.
