Orientation to Physiological Model-Based Simulation Credits: 5

Catalog description

This skills-based course prepares students for early introduction to the operating room. Simulated clinical models are used to allow students to practice anesthesia care in a safe, controlled, low pressure environment. Operating room set up and etiquette, pre-operative assessment, IV placement techniques, airway management, intraoperative care, and postoperative management are emphasized. The first 6 weeks is delivered as an “anesthesia bootcamp” during which students gain foundational knowledge and skills.
