Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Many larger facilities regularly stage obstetric drills in modern simulation departments equipped with expensive simulators. Despite lacking these resources, we wanted to provide effective simulation training at our rural hospital. A team of clinicians and educators developed a cost‐effective and time‐efficient simulation drill for nurses, which included both a didactic review and a simulation day. The drill included obstetric providers and incorporated scenarios for shoulder dystocia, neonatal resuscitation and postpartum hemorrhage. This was a successful multidisciplinary learning experience that was high in creativity and teamwork, but low in cost. DOI: 10.1111/1751‐486X.12162</p> </abstract>
