Michaela is also Visiting Research Scholar at the Center for Medical Simulation through August, 2012
Dr. Kolbe will present: Team Interaction Patterns and Team Performance in Anesthesia. Dr Kolbe’s work at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology focuses on rigorous analysis of teamwork patterns in simulation and in the OR using both quantitative and qualitative methods. In this presentation she will share recent work on the links between team interactions and performance.
