Description:

Simulation Course for Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology (MOCA®)

The American Board of Anesthesiology recognizes simulation training as an innovative and experiential approach to the Practice Performance Assessment and Improvement component in Part IV of Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology (MOCA®). Completion of this simulation course and post-course requirements satisfies one requirement of the ABA’s MOCA® program. Please consult the ABA website for a list of all MOCA® requirements by certification year.

Course Description

Duration: 8 hours (8:00 AM to 4:00 PM). Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

This activity has been approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.

Participants will receive an orientation to the simulation environment and patient mannequin at the beginning of this single day course. The participants will engage in providing team-based patient care covering a range of peri-operative critical events in a variety of settings. Each participant will play an active role as a main anesthesia care provider for at least one scenario, and function as helpers or observers for other scenarios. Building on the basic components of hypoxemia and hemodynamic disturbances, simulated clinical events will also incorporate complex or rare critical events as well as challenges in teamwork and communication. This course is NOT a test and performance is NOT GRADED. Rather, each scenario is accompanied by a detailed, interactive peer debriefing led by an instructor. Advance preparation is not necessary.

To receive credit for satisfactory completion of the simulation course for MOCA®, participants will submit an online course evaluation and identify 3 areas for practice improvement within 3 days of course completion. Participants will then submit a follow-up report to the ASA 1-3 months following the simulation course. Upon submission of these elements, the ASA will notify the ABA that the simulation requirement has been completed. No report or record of performance is given to the ABA.
