1. A method for teaching patient care, the method comprising:
- providing rotational and translational movement to a fetal simulator with a birthing mechanism disposed within a torso of a maternal simulator, wherein the birthing mechanism selectively engages the fetal simulator such that the fetal simulator is fixedly engaged with the birthing mechanism during the rotational and translational movement and disengaged from the birthing mechanism when the fetal simulator is to be removed from the maternal simulator.

Abstract
Simulator systems for teaching patient care are provided. In some instances, the simulator system includes a maternal simulator sized and shaped to simulate a pregnant woman, the maternal simulator including a torso, arms, legs, and a head, wherein the torso includes a chamber sized and shaped to receive a fetal simulator and wherein a birthing mechanism is disposed within the chamber for providing rotational and translational movement to the fetal simulator in a birthing simulation; and a fetal simulator sized and shaped to simulate a fetus, the fetal simulator configured to be selectively engaged with the birthing mechanism of the maternal simulator.

15. A method for teaching patient care, the method comprising:
-
coupling a fetal simulator to a birthing mechanism of a maternal simulator; engaging a locking mechanism of the birthing mechanism to fixedly secure the fetal simulator to the birthing mechanism; utilizing the birthing mechanism to provide rotational and translational movement to the fetal simulator to simulate a birthing sequence; and releasing the locking mechanism of the birthing mechanism to allow the fetal simulator to be removed from the birthing mechanism and the maternal simulator. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
