EMT and Paramedic students engage in real-to-life, high-fidelity simulations that use the expertise of medically trained actors, high-fidelity simulation mannequins within austere environments. Learners are encouraged to make mistakes and feel the emotional weight of medical error. After the event, learners collaborate with experienced faculty to identify communication, leadership and CRM errors that led to poor patient outcomes, and identify strategies to mitigate risks and avoid error on future similar situations.
