SimNight on Oct 27, 2015

This night, 2 young doctors, 1 nurse and their senior doctor participated in this simulation.
I gave just one scenario of a severe community acquired pneumonia patient that has several teaching points.

It took about 50 min for them to complete the scenario and then I did about one hour thorough debriefing.

After the scenario, these young docs seemed to be overwhelmed by the severity of the patient and their lack of ability to manage this patient. One of them said  “I’ve realized what I don’t know and what I should learn now.”

I believe this Sim has gotten them motivated and urged them to learn about emergency medicine more.

Next SimMarathon in Winter!

I want to share the information about the next SimMarathon in SIMSTAR before the official announcement.
SimMarathon in Winter 2015 will be held on Dec 29 in SIMSTAR.
I’m not sure that I’ll be able to continue this crazy simulation seminar in 2016 as well.
If you want to experience comprehensive simulation about any kinds of emergency patients, why not join it!

I will wear one of our new LOGO-printed shirts 🙂
