Human Patient Simulation Lab Curriculum

Curriculum Design

• Based on standard treatment protocols and principles of best practices
• Reviewed and validated by content experts
• Pre-programmed into dynamic and highly interactive scenarios

Learning Objectives

• Systemic approach to patient assessment and medical management
• Developing and improving doctor/patient and team communication skills
• Safe, effective patient care in stressful environments
• Effective critical reasoning in partially transparent reality
• Professionalism

Method of Teaching

• Small Group Teaching
• Student-focused simulator-based
• Teaching through inquiry
• Outcome-based training
• Controlled stress environment
• Reinforcement of procedural and cognitive skills

Patient Simulation Cases

• Airway management
• Effective patient ventilation - manual and mechanical
• Diagnosis and management of hemodynamically unstable patients
• Diagnosis and management of patients with multiple trauma (e.g., pneumothorax, internal bleeding. etc.)
• Diagnosis and management of patients with arrhythmias
• Diagnosis and management of patients with respiratory problems (e.g., asthma, ARDS, COPD etc)
• Diagnosis and management of patients with pregnancy complications
• Diagnosis and management of patients with general anesthetic complications
• Diagnosis and management of patients with anaphylactic reactions
• Diagnosis and management of patients with thermal injury
• Diagnosis and management of patients with shock (e.g., septic, cardiogenic, etc.)
• Diagnosis and management of patients with thrombotic complications (e.g., pulmonary, coronary)
• Diagnosis of anesthesia equipment malfunction and management (e.g., exhausted absorber, problem with patient-out valve)
• Diagnosis and management of patients with high tolerance of opioids
