Title: Medical Simulation in Israel Today
Discussion: Israeli Medical Simulation is growing rapidly, well beyond its' origins in Emergency Medical Management of Trauma. Newer emphasis in Ob/Gyn has contributed to the body of knowledge about the value of this learning technology in improving clinical outcomes for obstetrical patients and their newborn. Future directions in Risk Management at the Sheba Medical Center, Tel - Hashomer will be mentioned.
