Senior Instructor course - Simulation exercising in Disaster Medicine |
Background:
|
One important part in disaster medicine is training of the ability to make accurate decisions.
Training of this requires educated instructors that can practice and evaluate performances of different categories of staff involved in the medical management of disasters and major incidents. These instructors should also be familiar in using simulations exercises based on real scenarios, with realistic resources, real capacity of different medical facilities and should be using real time when performing the training sessions.
One way of achieving this is by using the Emergo Train system®, a simulation system that can be designed to fit any scenario in any setting and has been used for training and simulation in disaster medicine in several countries the last decades.
A Senior Emergo Train Instructor is the head instructor in an Emergo Train Simulation Exercise. He/she is responsible for setting up the course objectives and ensuring they are adequately achieved. A Senior Emergo Train Instructor has successfully completed the applicable courses at the Centre for Teaching & Research in Disaster Medicine. He/she shows continued proficiency by conducting a minimum of 3 Emergo Train Simulation exercises per year. |
