Crisis Management Training for Practicing Anesthesiologists
Tuition: $1500
Meets the MOCA® Part IV Simulation Requirement

The Center for Medical Simulation (CMS) is offering intensive one day workshops in Anesthesia Crisis Resource Management (ACRM) for all anesthesiologists that will meet the MOCA® Part IV simulation requirement. These workshops have been approved for 7.5 AMA PRA Category 1 continuing education credits and are also eligible for Risk Management Study.

CMS Anesthesia Crisis Resource Management workshops are designed for those anesthesiologists seeking to practice their skills in managing critical events. The overall focus of these workshops is on learning the type of teamwork and generic skills needed when managing any kind of infrequent but critical event in anesthesia and opportunities will be made available to learn skills in managing certain specific events. During the workshops, participants requiring MOCA® certification will each have a turn as the primary anesthesiologist caring for the patient.

The Center for Medical Simulation is an endorsed program in the American Society of Anesthesiologists’ Simulation Education Network, and has ensured that this workshop complies with the American Board of Anesthesiologists’ Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesia MOCA® Part IV simulation requirements. MOCA® is a registered certification mark of The American Board of Anesthesiology, Inc.

Finished up the latest round of the Harvard Anesthesia Resident Performance Assessment Group Study (HARPAG) on Friday at CMS.

Dr Rick Blum, an Anesthesiologsit from Children’s Hospital Boston, is the Prinicpal Investigator of the HARPAG study whose aim is to improve patient safety by building on an ongoing pilot research study to develop an effective, credible, ongoing, simulation enabled assessment to more reliably identify anesthesia residents at an early stage of training who may
ot have attained sufficient skills. Rick believes that early intervention is more likely to have a positive impact on attaining proficiency or directing residents toward another specialty with the goal of ensuring that no underperforming resident graduates from a residency program.
