In this episode of Simulation Nation, Amy and Megan take a deep dive into the world’s top birthing simulators—from high-tech mannequins to global health solutions built for low-resource settings. They break down what makes each option stand out (or fall flat), looking at realism, cost, and how well each one actually prepares healthcare professionals for the real thing.
You’ll hear their honest take on which simulators truly put the patient first, why standardized patients matter more than ever, and how simulation can close critical gaps in maternal care—especially for women of color. Whether you're building a sim center or updating your OB training, this conversation will help you cut through the noise and choose smarter.
Simulators Discussed: Victoria (Gaumard Scientific), Lucina (Elevate Healthcare), MamaAnne, MamaBirthie (Laerdal), Avbirth (Avkin)
