Simulation-Based Anesthesia Training
Course Details
Meets the Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology (MOCA®) Part IV Simulation Requirement
-
Eligible Credits7.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
-
Course Duration1 Day
The Center for Medical Simulation (CMS) offers intensive one day workshops in Anesthesia Crisis Resource Management (ACRM) for all anesthesiologists that will meet the MOCA® Part IV simulation requirement.
CMS Anesthesia Crisis Resource Management workshops are designed for those anesthesiologists seeking to practice their skills in managing critical events. The overall focus of these workshops is on learning the type of teamwork and generic skills needed when managing any kind of infrequent but critical event in anesthesia, and opportunities will be made available to learn skills in managing certain specific events. During the workshops, participants requiring MOCA® certification will each have a turn as the primary anesthesiologist caring for the patient.

Course Objectives
Participants will:
- Review and apply Crisis Resource Management (CRM) principles to simulated and real clinical settings, including but not limited to cross monitoring, speaking up and having situational awareness.
- Apply communication strategies in event management including establishing the role of the event manager using the new paradigm “Name, Claim, Aim” to organize the team, in addition to handoffs, structured communication such as SBAR, assertion techniques including “Two Challenge” and use of advocacy/inquiry.
- Apply diagnostic problem solving techniques and strategies to avoid fixation, including familiarization and practice with using the Emergency Manuals for patient treatment during times of high cognitive load with deliberate practice in simulated critical events
- Develop strategies for culture change with emphasis on inviting input and speaking up.
