Pre-Clinical Case Competition to Assess Confidence in Responding to Select Out-Of-Hospital Medical Emergencies

/

By the end of this activity, learners will be able to: 1) demonstrate the application of skills in real-life first responder scenarios, including suspected opioid overdose, cardiac arrest, and anaphylaxis; 2) apply knowledge of scene safety and the role of the first responder in various situations; and 3) assess the challenges while applying the skills necessary for collaborative work within a medical team.

Do’s and Don’ts of Taking Care of Deaf Patients

/

By the end of this didactic, the learner will demonstrate increased comfort with communication with DHH patients via improved awareness of communication pitfalls and through approaches to communicating with DHH patients in a limited capacity, such as without timely access to interpreters or in an environment where staff are unfamiliar with DHH patients. An in-depth assessment of cultural awareness and description of proper communication techniques, necessary equipment, or interpreter working relationships is beyond the scope of this project.

Going in Blind: A Common Scenario in an Uncommon Situation

/

By the end of this simulation, learners will be able to (1) evaluate and treat a patient experiencing myocardial infarction and subsequent cardiac arrest during a power outage, (2) describe the local protocols for managing patient care during a power outage, (3) demonstrate the ability to coordinate a medical team during a simulated power outage in an emergency department with limited resources, (4) manage a cardiac arrest patient by following Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) protocols for bradycardia and ventricular fibrillation, and (5) justify the urgency of transfer to a certified ST segment elevation myocardial infarction center/cardiac intensive care unit, referencing the recommended 120-minute door-to-balloon time.

First Aid Curriculum for Second Year Medical Students

/

Small group activities were performed with a focus on case-based scenarios combined with hands-on instruction. The four scenarios were choking, seizure, anaphylaxis, and bleeding which were taught by an educator who was either faculty, an emergency medicine resident, or an upper-level medical student. Facilitators were provided an educational handout specific to their station to guide them through the teaching session. A PowerPoint presentation was also provided complete with supporting images and videos to share with the students each session.

Identification of a Human Trafficking Victim: A Simulation

/

By the end of this simulation, participants will be able to: (1) Identify signs of human trafficking. (2) Demonstrate the ability to perform a primary and secondary assessment of a patient when there is concern for human trafficking. (3) Demonstrate the ability to appropriately separate an at-risk patient from a potential trafficker. (4) Identify resources and a reliable course of action to permanently remove the patient from the harmful situation.
