Simulation-based training is increasingly used for postpartum hemorrhage, shoulder dystocia, eclampsia and other high-risk obstetric events. Educational studies show improvements in technical performance, communication, leadership and adherence to emergency protocols, although evidence linking simulation directly to population-level maternal outcomes is more limited. For maternity units, the main value is repeated rehearsal of low-frequency, high-consequence events. High-fidelity scenarios, defined team roles, emergency equipment and structured debriefing can expose system weaknesses before a real emergency occurs. This aligns closely with AICOG's focus on hands-on skills and emergency drills.
