SAIL, the Skills Acquisition and Innovation Laboratory, was featured in a recent news report on New York’s CBS affiliate, WCBS-2. SAIL is the surgery and anesthesia simulation center administered jointly by the Departments of Anesthesiology and Surgery. The WCBS report aired on August 20 and featured several of our faculty and residents.
The look at SAIL was provided by WCBS correspondent Dr. Max Gomez, as part of the newscast’s regular “Healthwatch” feature. Dr. Gomez took viewers inside the SAIL facility, exploring the OR simulator room, looking at surgery and anesthesiology residents training and being debriefed, and the variety of simulation programs offered at SAIL - from emergency simulations to practice with suturing. Dr. Anthony Watkins of Surgery was interviewed, and Dr. Lori Rubin and Dr. David Stein of Anesthesiology were prominently featured, along with SAIL Manager Dr. Jay Rosenberg. WCBS also interviewed Anesthesiology Resident Dr. Ryan Lippell (Class of 2019) about the value of simulation education.
