title: Interprofessional simulation of a retained placenta and postpartum hemorrhage.
abstract: To improve quality and safety in healthcare, national and international organizations have called for students to receive dedicated training in interprofessional communication and collaboration. We developed a simulation for nurse-midwifery and nurse-anesthesia students, using the Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice framework. The simulation, involving a postpartum women with a retained placenta and acute blood loss, allowed students to collaboratively manage a high-risk situation. We present the details of the simulation and evaluation to assist educators.
