The simulator is comprised of a mannequin of a pregnant woman and a newborn connected to a motorized system that can create standardized and unique delivery-related scenarios. Lourdes Health System plans to expand the use of the simulator to Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in Camden early this year.
