A co-operation between the simulation centres in Copenhagen, London and Tuebingen. Hosted in and co-conducted with METS Center, the Netherlands

For the seventh time we offer this special course - uniquely combining the expertise of different simulation centres and experienced multi-disciplinary instructors (physicians, nurses, paramedics, medical educators, and a psychologist). The course provides a mixture of theory and practice and emphasizes feedback relevant for learning in a safe and stimulating atmosphere. Participants work in small groups with close instructor interaction. The course language is English, requiring being able to take part in conversations. 

Target Group: Health care professionals who want to use simulators and simulations for teaching

Course goal: Enabling participants to start running simulation-based courses for acute care medicine addressing issues of crisis resource management (CRM)
