STTIR in the NCCC (Simulated Team Training in Resuscitation)

STTIR is a multidisciplinary neonatal advance life support training course focused on improving resuscitation skills through simulation, TeamSTEPPS training concepts, video-taped debriefing sessions, and self-reflection. The course has promoted and endorsed a climate where physicians, nurses and respiratory therapists apply critical thinking skills, teamwork and mutual support during crisis management.

The simulated resuscitation experiences allow participants to practice clinical and communication skills required in the absence of human risk. The audio/video taped debriefing sessions coupled with a non-punitive feedback process has proven to be a priceless educational experience. The program has been an enormous success according to verbal and non-verbal feedback from participants.

STTIR training is routinely conducted on the first Monday and Tuesday of your clinical rotation through the NCCC. You will be informed via e-mail which day you are expected to attend. The Division of Neonatology and the Pediatric Chief Residents are committed to this training program. Therefore, you are excused from attending the “Pediatric Noon Conference” and the unit specific “Multidisciplinary Rounds” on the day of your training session. These concessions provide ample time to complete daily activities prior to the training session.

The meeting destination will be in the conference room next to the Neonatal- Perinatal Division offices on the fourth floor in Memorial Hospital. Please be certain to review the Neonatal Resuscitation Program guidelines as outlined by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The typical course outline is listed below.
