Hands-On Learning: Simulation in Action

Worst-Case Scenarios Managing OTO Emergencies in Practice Workshop
Monday, September 12
Thomas Jefferson University
This hands-on workshop is geared toward practicing otolaryngologists to prepare them for low frequency, high stakes emergency situations that they may not encounter often in their daily routines. Attendees participate in a rotation of six simulated otolaryngology emergencies with a cohort of six peer attendees. Each simulated emergency is done as a duo with a partner from the group. Following each simulation, a debriefing is held with the group and a facilitator and includes discussion of best practices for these situations based on published guidelines and available literature.
