Dental CE Course: Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office: A "Do It (Almost) For Real" Simulation Course

Medical emergency courses have historically presented the information you need to return to your office and prepare yourself, your staff, and a kit for an adverse event. This course takes the training one step further: you and your staff will learn to handle emergencies in real time, with real kits, real drugs and real scenarios!
This will be a really fun course - hands on!
Please bring your staff— they need this as much as you do.
When you register, we will send you a handout detailing common emergencies and suggested ways of managing them. You and your staff will be expected to review this handout prior to the day of the course.
On that day, your team will be guided, with emergency kits provided, through several real-to-life simulated emergencies. You will position the patient, make decisions, institute universal interventions, and then administer - or not administer - medications and other rescue therapies as appropriate— in real time, with the clock and your adrenaline running.
After each simulation, we will have a debriefing session to discuss what went right, what went wrong, how things were managed, why certain interventions were appropriate, and what the outcomes might have been had this been a real emergency.
Don't worry about being embarrassed— by the end of the day, you and your staff will be much more confident of your ability to handle a true emergency should one happen!
Feel free to bring your office emergency equipment if you would like it evaluated.
Dr. Johnson has been using this simulation technique very successfully in training his general practice residents and dental students. He began using this technique after realizing that watching a slide show is very different from actually doing it quickly, efficiently, correctly, and with organized team effort. These simulations are eye-opening and make for a fun and very educational day.
Per day tuition increases by $10 per participant if registering after April 16.
