Simulation Center Curriculum
Our simulation curriculum goes beyond technical proficiency and focuses on fostering multidisciplinary teamwork and effective communication, which are crucial for patient safety.
UT Southwestern's Simulation Center offers specialized endo-suites where residents can develop and refine their surgical skills. Through hands-on experience and realistic simulations, residents gain confidence and competence in advanced surgical procedures.
Anatomy Lab
During their rotation on Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery, Ob/Gyn residents join fellows in a Pelvic Anatomy and Dissection Course that is embedded within the clinical rotation.
The Pelvic Anatomy and Laparoscopy Course with Fresh Cadaver Dissection includes hands-on surgical operations, laparoscopic training, and dissection of unembalmed cadavers.
This course, which is structured into four half-day sessions, has been part of the gynecologic surgery curriculum of the Ob/Gyn Residency Program since 2002.
