Anesthesia residents participate in 2-3 critical incident simulation training sessions each year. The half-day sessions allow residents hands-on experience as the primary provider for various simulation scenarios, including rare and infrequent events, and as observers and first and second responders during their colleagues' cases.

Course Objectives

1. Develop succinct plans for managing various clinical scenarios
2. Demonstrate technical skills for infrequent critical events
3. Apply teamwork and communication skills to crisis management
