Last night, members of the EVFD who are preparing to provide the community with a higher level of care had an opportunity to spend some time in one of UPMC Hamot's simulation labs. The students were gaining valuable experience with patient care for mom and newborn during emergency childbirth situations. Simulation training provides students with life-like experiences in having to respond to the many different types of challenges that might be associated with childbirth. We thank the team at UPMC for providing us with this invaluable opportunity.
