The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine Department of Anesthesiology and the Office of Continuing Medical Education (CME) are proud to offer physicians an opportunity to attend a simulation course in crisis resource management that fulfills one requirement of the American Board of Anesthesiology’s (ABA) Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology Program® (MOCA®) Part IV, and provides CME credits that can be applied to MOCA® Part III.


ABOUT THE COURSE

Course Description

Crisis resource management courses involve the health care process of low volume, high-risk cases. This course will provide participants with a cognitive and procedural review of the treatment of life-threatening conditions requiring rapid, definitive care. Crisis resource management scenarios also address interprofessional teamwork, which the Institute of Medicine identified as one of the core competencies needed for health professionals to be effective in the 2003 publication, Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality.

This day-long activity takes place in the state-of-the-art F. Marie Hall SimLife Center at TTUHSC Lubbock. Prepared specifically for practicing anesthesiologists, the course aims to provide review, preparation and practice for high-acuity situations, all in a comfortable and supportive environment. The course includes:
