Much of her work focuses on the use of simulation, team training and imple-mentation of evidence based guidelines to achieve this goal. Although her clinical background is in Obstetrics & Gynecology, Dr. Goffman’s workshop and grand rounds will be widely applicable to other disciplines as she has participants think critically about implementation of new team training initiatives or augmentation of existing pro-grams as well the role of simulation to help achieve common patient safety goals and objectives.
