The Staff Interdisciplinary Simulation Program is a weekly simulation program that runs Sept – June of each academic year. The 3 hour sessions are run, in-situ, at the 4 Emergency Departments in Calgary. Simulation teams include 2 staff Emergency Medicine physicians, 4 Emergency Medicine nurses and 1-2 Respiratory therapists. Our colleagues in Pharmacy are also included in our team, when available. The sessions focus on team work and communication skills, practicing procedures in real time and working through complex patient presentations. The team is exposed to critical care scenarios, to refine their skills they need for their daily Emergency Medicine practice. Sessions are approved by both the CCFP and FRCP  Emergency Medicine governing bodies and are eligible for CME credit. This program has been running since 2011 with over 350 sessions completed.
