University of Liberia Experiential Learning and Assesment Lab - ELAB

University of Liberia Experiential Learning and Assesment Lab - ELAB ELAB is a well-equipped simulation center hospital-like environment with high-fidelity manikins.

The ELAB – CTLI’s clinical simulation education program – trains clinicians to competently and confidently provide patient care through the use of lifelike manikins and other training tools to mimic different clinical scenarios. ELAB’s facilities at JFK Medical Center and University of Liberia’s Capitol Hill campus will allow learners to practice both basic procedural skills (IV insertion, catheterization, etc.) as well as complex decision-making, communication, and teamwork. Tailored scenarios will train care providers in evidence-based best practices and allow them to rehearse new standards of care, elevating their practice based on relevant research findings and new developments in clinical practice.

Strengthening maternal care in Liberia

In a landmark collaboration with the John F. Kennedy Medical Center, the University of Liberia Experiential Learning and Assesment Lab - ELAB C has completed a 10-day session of the E-MOTIVE training. Beneficiaries of the training are clinicians from the labor and emergency wards of the hospital’s maternity center.
With vital support from Laerdal Global Health, this hands-on simulation training enhanced the capacity of frontline providers to early detect post-partum hemorrhage emergencies and effectively manage them using the WHO-EMOTIVE package
This initiative reflects the ’ commitment to clinical excellence, life-saving care, and the ongoing transformation of maternal health services in Liberia.

ELAB Awarded $45K Grant from Laerdal, to Tackle Maternal Mortality in Liberia

The Samuel Bowman Experiential Learning and Assessment Lab (ELAB), housed at JFK Medical Center, has received a $45,000 grant from Laerdal Foundation to support Liberia’s fight against maternal deaths caused by postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), the leading cause of maternal mortality in the country.

With 742 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births, Liberia’s rate is 10x the global SDG target. ELAB is taking bold, homegrown steps to reverse this trend.

What sets this effort apart? It’s 100% Liberian-led. Driven by local clinicians, educators, and innovators committed to sustainable, scalable solutions.

This is more than a grant. It’s an investment in Liberian solutions for Liberian challenges. 💪🏽

The John F. Kennedy Medical Center Pediatrics department conducted a 3-day In-service Basic NICU training from February 26-28,2025. Topics were Neonatal Resuscitation and IV Cannulation with a focus on the Aseptic technique for Nurses & Midwives within the department.

Cases were simulated using our high-fidelity simulator SimBaby and Neonatalie.

Senior staff from the Pediatrics department, along with the ELAB Team, facilitated these sessions.

We're thrilled to announce that the ELAB has been awarded a grant from Laerdal Medical Laerdal Global Health for 4 MamaBirthie simulators after a rigorous vetting process!

Leveraging on the existing training programs, these simulators will bring to life cases of maternal abdominal and vaginal exams, normal & cesarean births, Bridge delivery, shoulder dystocia, and vacuum-assisted delivery, amongst others.

With the increasing need to prioritize Maternal health through the prevention of complications during pregnancy and childbirth, practicing these cases will prepare and enhance the skills of clinicians for real-life emergencies and aid in safer births for mothers and babies, thereby leading to improved maternal health and reduction in maternal mortality in our community at large.

Together, we can make a difference in patient outcomes!

During the week of September 30th through October 8th the ELAB hosted Dr. Arna Banergee a Senior Consultant Anesthesiologist and a simulation expert from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, USA.

This weeklong activity included an interactive session on the Pedagogy of Simulation as a teaching tool, Simulation Orientation for residents and several practical scenario sessions for residents and clinical faculty members from LCPS.

The ELAB team appreciates the support of all key stakeholders and thanks Dr. Banergee for sharing her vast knowledge on healthcare simulation and providing an enriching experience for all participants.
