Topics:
Toxicology (Tox)
Toxicology scenarios using the adult mannequins for the residents and students in the toxicology rotation.
Small-Group Simulations
Monthly case-based simulation sessions for residents and students led by EM faculty, aimed to improve hands-on familiarity and expertise with cases relevant to core content topic of the month.
Intern Procedure Orientation
An introduction to common Emergency Medicine procedures and a chance to be familiar with our local procedural kits and to practice recommended methods before beginning residency.
Collaborative Simulation Day
An opportunity to interact with other EM residents during simulation cases, compare unusual practices, and build networks with other local residency programs.
In-situ Simulations
On shift, there may be a simulated patient who “arrives” in the department, to help assess and improve operations, protocols, equipment, or spaces. Simulation Fellowship has been considered, and could be available to interested candidates.
Medical Student Workshop (MSW)
Medical and Trauma Resuscitation workshop for 3rd and 4th year medical students on their EMS rotations. Facilitated by EM G-2 and G-3 and utilizing high fidelity simulation manikins.
