In a warm and collegial environment, the ACME course aims to stimulate and provoke the experienced physician practising Emergency Medicine who wishes to be challenged by:

 

• Using simulation to improve the understanding of human factors and their impact on the
quality of team-based clinical care within the emergency medicine environment.

 

• Providing an update on key clinical skills, with core modules on
   o Cardiovascular instability
   o Airway and respiratory emergencies
   o Complex emergencies
   o Death and dying
   o ED workplace well-being
   o Optional modules: previous modules have been toxicology, obstetrics, and pre-hospital emergencies.

 

• There are many opportunities to participate in small and larger group discussions with peers
about important clinical and non-clinical topics: a feature that is perhaps unique to this
course.

 

• Updated course material

 

 

 

 The course will be held at the Simulation Centre for Patient Safety, University of Auckland Grafton Campus, Bldg 502 Level B, 85 Park Road, Grafton, Auckland 1023.
