The other way to experience The CARE Course is to come to one that is happening at a conference. The calendar list on the right indicates whether a course is at a conference.

    • What to expect from The CARE Course

      The CARE Course emphasises a FUN, WARM and SUPPORTIVE learning environment. The course, and this learning site are aimed at rural emergency care providers. The intended audience is physicians, nurses and paramedics.


      Themes in this Course

      -managing with few staff/resources
      -delayed time to transport
      -complex transport routes/options
      -scheduling/planned timing of procedures/interventions
      -decision making/prioritizing/multi-tasking
      -group/team interaction/management

      The CARE Course experience

      -emphasis in scenarios of doing the scenario, not talking one's way through a scenario
      -reality-based (in running of scenario, it isn't sufficient for participant just to say "i'd do RSI" or "IVs x2, foley, N/G" (b/c in reality, these things take time and can't be done simultaneously)
      -academic/theory vs reality
      -modelling (demonstrating) what is being taught...i.e. use of verbal summaries to students, just as one does in a resuscitation to provider team.
      -use of real scenarios (not concocted ones) and emphasize this to students. - this protects instructors and adds ++educational value
