Throughout this clinical module you will be expected to participate in case-base scenarios involving individual and group tasks that provide a comfortable environment for you to learn more about burns and how we treat them in critical care air transport. You will rotate through three stations for one hour each in groups divided up into clinical subspecialty (high-risk maternal, pediatric, neonatal) for this assignment to accomplish the above objectives. And because we all love a little competition in this industry, each group will achieve points as they proceed through the stations. At the end of the training, the group with the most points gets a fabulous-yet-unnamed prize that will be sure to knock your socks off and make all the other groups jealous of your fabulosity. Ready?

Here are the stations: 1. Case-Based Scenarios (Station A) Students will be bale to integrate ABA guidelines, clinical resources and skill performance into the management of case-based scenarios using a simulator manikin (hands-on practice with SimMan in the hangar). The only resources you are allowed to use during these scenarios is what would be available to you on the helicopter (i.e. handheld PDAs in flight suits, standing guideline references on the Toughbooks, and any internet resources you can obtain within the time period on the wireless connect… good luck!)

2. Advanced Airway Management/Trach Lab (Station B) Students will perform rapid sequence induction skills for advanced airway management, including medication calculations and utilization of appropriate adjuncts, in small break-out sessions within clinical specialty groups. Again, the only technological resources you are allowed to use are what you would normally have available on the helicopter (see above list). Get creative… the more innovation you use, the higher the points!

3. Core Concepts of Burn Trauma Management Group Powerpoint (Station C) This is your chance to use your creativity to good use, young Jedis! Within small groups assigned by air base stations, students will create a group Powerpoint presentation on one of five basic areas of burn trauma education. The areas of education will be based on web research topics assigned prior to the burn trauma day via email at your individual air bases. At the end of the lesson, you as individuals will perform a critique of your projects, then the entire group will vote on the best presentation that integrates web resources into learning objectives for prizes (judicious use of humor is recommended!).
