Training Description

This one-day workshop is designed to meet the learning needs of both Royal College and Family Physician-Anesthesia trained clinicians.  Participants will explore and practice Crisis Resource Management, the foundations of which are key to managing any crisis situation.  Our Continuing Medical Education workshop will provide a safe and comfortable environment in which physicians can manage critical perioperative events.  Course participants will take part in a number of anesthesia crisis situations in our state of the art simulation centre.  A formative facilitated debriefing after each event will provide the participants a safe environment to reflect on the crisis scenario and subsequent management.  Focus will be placed not only on up-to-date resuscitation techniques but communication and teamwork in a crisis as well.  participants will fill out an end of course writeen reflection of their learning experience.  A technical skills room will also be available for participants to practice US guided central lines and surgical airways during down time in between simulation sessions.
