The clinical opportunities have decreased significantly for training or maintenance of skill for ultrasound guided needle invasive procedures. We have designed a procedural hands-on simulation workshop to help with a systematic curriculum and evidenced-based educational approach to learn the basics of core obstetric ultrasound guided needle procedures. OB/Gyn Residents, MFM Fellows, Junior Faculty or experienced Faculty (tasked with teaching these procedures at their institutions) can utilize these techniques and task trainers to bring back to their institutions for further procedural education.

Learning Objectives:

Discuss available options for simulating ultrasound guided invasive procedures
Demonstrate and practice the basic psychomotor skills needed for ultrasound guided invasive procedures
Describe how to use simulators specific for different ultrasound guided needle procedures
Consider a plan for an ultrasound guided invasive procedure simulation program at your institution
