Episode 331: #77-2 Office Emergencies: The Power of Simulations

This week on The Virtual Curbside, we’re talking about one of the most practical tools in pediatric emergency preparedness: simulations. From front desk protocols to medical assistant roles and procedure planning, simulations help ensure every member of the care team knows what to do - and has what they need - when seconds count. Host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP, and guest Stephanie Spanos, MD, explore how to run effective simulations, evaluate your equipment (especially for pediatric-specific needs), and build muscle memory that can save lives. Learn why practicing together matters more than perfection, and how letting go of the need to “know and do it all” as the doctor makes your office stronger and safer. Have a question?
