Thank you for your patience and understanding. 

The Center for Immersive and Simulation-based Learning (CISL) offers a one-day simulation training course in anesthesia crisis management. As one of ASA’s endorsed programs, our course can be used toward Part 4 (Practice Performance Assessment & Improvement) of Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology (MOCA®).

Our course is delivered by leaders in anesthesia and the field of simulation-based training. It offers hands-on practice of current techniques, diagnosis and treatment of difficult anesthesia cases which also covers Crisis Resource Management (CRM) training.

Objectives

  • Develop strategies to apply technical skills to appropriately diagnose and treat anesthesia emergencies.
  • Develop strategies to apply crisis resource management skills during clinical crisis situations.
  • Develop strategies to apply reflective and self-assessment skills to review and analyze clinical performance.


Enrolled participants will experience or observe various clinical scenarios carefully selected to represent common and infrequent critical events in anesthesia practice. Each participant will play the role of the primary anesthesiologist for at least one scenario and observe or serve as a secondary responder for the other scenarios. Each scenario is followed by a group debriefing. Participants will refresh their skills in managing critical incidents, team interactions and resource utilization.
