SUMMARY

Learn to use ultrasound to detect global cardiac activity, pericardial effusions, AAA’s, intra-abdominal hemorrhage and intra-uterine pregnancies.

The course is unique in that it has continually evolved as the instructor team gained insight into the way beginners learn this skill. Numerous techniques were developed to help the learner acquire a basic understanding of ultrasound image generation and interpretation, making the EDE Course the most effective teaching vehicle for this modality.

Although the EDE Course is occasionally offered as part of a conference, it was mainly designed to come to you if there is enough interest in your centre. There are a number of “off-the-shelf” courses; however, groups can also design their own custom course.

Target Audience: physicians practicing emergency care

For information on registration: www.edecourse.com

SUMMARY

The EDTU course is designed to provide physicians with a strong foundation in emergency ultrasound. The course emphasizes hands-on practical instruction to maximize participant learning. This is achieved with one-on-one bedside teaching on live models.

The course is a two-day program and will accommodate twenty learners. It is designed to facilitate the completion of most (if not all) of the required 50 supervised scans in each of the four areas (aorta, cardiac, abdomen, and pelvis). Target audience: Physicians practicing emergency care.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the basics of ultrasound physics, image generation and interpretation, and image artifact.
• Understand the different types of probes
• Complete most (if not all) of required 50 scans
• Generate limited focused images for all the primary applications of EDTU
• Understand the difference between EDTU and a formal ultrasound
• Understand how EDTU is to be used in the clinical assessment of patients and clinical algorithms for patient care.
• Identify anatomic structures on an ultrasound image that are necessary to interpret the primary examinations
• Understand the importance of establishing and maintaining a quality assurance program at your local ED.
• Learn the psychomotor skills necessary to generate accurate ultrasound images
• Understand the indications for and limitations of EDTU.

SUMMARY

The Hands-On Ultrasound Education (HOUSE) program gives rural physicians the training and confidence to integrate point-of-care ultrasound into their practice. This customizable, traveling, hands-on ultrasound training program was created for rural physicians.

By providing education that is customized for each community, the program meets the needs of learners with a wide range of pre-existing skills. HOUSE delivers learning in a relaxed and fun environment with an instructor to student ratio of 1:2. To learn more visit: www.house.ubccpd.ca

We offer a large menu of options: choose from acute care, obstetrics, and internal medicine indications, or mix and match.

About the Hands-On Ultrasound Education Program

SUMMARY

The IH Rural Mobile Simulation Program was designed to provide instruction on emergency medicine concepts and to provide an opportunity for rural providers of emergency care to practice potentially life-saving skills. Like emergency medicine, this program is designed to be flexible to varying levels of experience, knowledge, and background. The course facilitators create a non-threatening, informal environment in which emergency care scenarios can be practiced.

With the high‐fidelity human patient simulators, we are able to create close to real life experiences in sites’ own emergency or trauma room, utilizing their supplies, equipment, and staff while building or enhancing relationships within the inter-professional teams.

Skills:

Focus: to enhance medical skills and knowledge, teamwork, and communication by placing more emphasis on learning that involves real‐time assessment and feedback.

• Simulation can be used to improve clinical decision‐making and psychomotor skills (e.g., airway management, trauma, resuscitation) within a multi‐disciplinary environment
• Simulation reduces medical errors through improved teamwork
• Scenarios can be tailored to meet the needs of the learners
• Training can be conducted in a setting that minimizes time pressures present in the clinical environment

Target audience: physicians, RNs, LPNs, RTs, Lab, BCAS, Students, Residents, Managers, and Administrators.

Information on registration.

SUMMARY

Multiday course: Tue, Sep 07, 2021 to Tue, Oct 19, 2021

Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Describe how to apply simulation to system-level patient safety and quality improvement efforts, to solve your organization’s operational and clinical issues;
