1. A method of teaching patient care, the method comprising: providing a patient simulator comprising a model of at least a portion of a human body and configured to execute simulated medical scenarios, wherein the medical simulator includes a maternal simulator and a fetal simulator positionable within a portion of the maternal simulator such that the maternal simulator and the fetal simulator are suitable for use in birthing simulations; defining a plurality of palette items, each of the plurality of palette items associated with a physiological state of the simulator; linking two or more of the plurality of palette items together in a sequence to define a first medical scenario; communicating the first scenario to the simulator; simulating the first scenario utilizing the patient simulator; defining a plurality of fetal palette items, each of the plurality of fetal palette items associated with a physiological state of the fetal simulator; linking two or more of the plurality of fetal palette items together in a sequence to define a second medical scenario, wherein the second scenario corresponds to the first scenario of the maternal simulator; communicating the second scenario to the fetal simulator; and simulating the second scenario utilizing the fetal simulator.
