Elevate Healthcare and Paradigm Medical Systems Partner to Advance OB/GYN Task Training
Elevate Healthcare is partnering with Paradigm Medical Systems to bring Paradigm’s MODEL-med OB/GYN task trainer line to customers, expanding access to specialized trainers that support key obstetric and gynecological skills. This partnership strengthens Elevate Healthcare’s task trainer portfolio with purpose-built OB/GYN solutions that complement our existing simulation and clinical skills offerings.
Together, Elevate Healthcare and Paradigm Medical Systems will help educators deliver highly realistic, hands-on training that builds competency, confidence, and preparedness from the simulation environment to the bedside.
Expanding OB/GYN skills closer to real life
Through this partnership, Elevate Healthcare customers gain access to a portfolio of OB/GYN task trainers that translate critical moments in obstetric and gynecological care into realistic, repeatable practice. Designed for lifelike tactile feedback with realistic anatomy, these trainers allow learners to practice important skills in a safe, structured, and repeatable environment. Each MODEL-med trainer targets a specific set of skills—so educators can build scenarios that mirror real assessments, deliveries, and procedures, not just checklists.
- Charlie and His Mum support cervical dilation, fetal station, and presentation assessment for obstetric examination and labor assessment training.
- Sophie and Her Mum support routine and high-risk deliveries, including spontaneous vaginal birth, breech birth, shoulder dystocia, and related obstetric emergency scenarios.
- Lucy and Her Mum support instrumented delivery training with vacuum and forceps in a safe, repeatable learning environment.
- Gynecological Trainer supports pelvic exams, bi-manual palpation, and IUD training through a realistic simulation of female reproductive anatomy.
- Perineal Repair Simulator supports repeated practice suturing perineal lacerations from 1st through 4th degree, with realistic muscle and mucosa.
From safer practice to safer births
By pairing high-tactility task trainers with structured simulation and debriefing, educators can help teams practice both technical skills and communication in high-stakes OB/GYN scenarios. Evidence from obstetric and gynecologic simulation shows that scenario-based training improves competence, supports better teamwork, and help prepare teams to respond more effectively during obstetric emergencies such as shoulder dystocia.
Backed by Paradigm’s service to hospitals and universities, this partnership gives customers access to trusted OB/GYN training tools that align with Elevate Healthcare’s broader commitment to patient safety and clinical performance.
“Our partnership with Paradigm Medical Systems pairs realistic task trainers with the high-fidelity realism of Elevate’s Lucina and Luna simulators, giving learners a continuum from tactile precision to full maternal-neonatal team response, enabling translational simulation that drives team readiness and safer patient care.” ~ Stacie Wood, Chief Nursing Officer Elevate Healthcare
