We found ourselves faced with 3 problems

tWCCC recognized a need to remain clinically accurate and to demonstrate curricular infusion.

Both parties recognized the advantage of sharing human capital, material resources and expertise.

Local Primary hospital had a desire to train and evaluate their OB staff using simulation. They did not have the resources or staff to complete this on their own.
