    The course begins with an introducation to crisis resource management (CRM). This outlines key non-technical skills/human factors involved in caring for patients, such as effective communication, anticipation and planning, and taking a leadership role.

    We then cover 5 to 6 scenarios during the day. We debrief after each scenario, focusing on the key CRM points.

    To be realistic, the scenarios use high-fidelity simulation.
