Description: 
 The aviation industry practices teamwork in crisis situations. As a result crisis situations are managed efficiently and expertly; harm is averted. Now medical professionals can learn and practice the principles of crisis team management. This course is not focused on leaders, but teams who need to complete a set of tasks in rapid order in an effort to save patients' lives. Groups of about 20 individuals from a variety of disciplines will complete pre-course materials (a slide show and a pretest), participate in a simulator program with facilitated debriefing, and complete post course assessments. Trainees will understand the rationale for crisis team training, where it fits into a quality patient safety program, fundamentals of teamwork (with emphasis on cooperation and communication), and the importance of practice. They will confront a series of different crisis event so they can learn the underlying principles of team function.
