Keep Calm and Don't Walk into the Tail Rotor
Funny things happen when you start work in new environments. Surely most clinicians have experienced this first hand. Think back to that first time you scrubbed in and walked into an operating room, the first time you set foot in an ICU, the first time you worked in an ED different than the one you trained in. What was that like? overwhelming? empowering? disorientating? Did you ever get caught up in just trying to figure out where the heck the 25 gauge needles and 10 ml syringes were in the supply closet?
Crew Resource Management: Lessons from the World of #FOAMed
On Monday we published our first post in the Air Care and Mobile Care Online Flight Physician Orientation on Crew Resource Management. Also on Monday afternoon we were able to tweet with some of the leaders in Prehospital Medicine and Helicopter EMS from around the globe. We'll try to do this throughout the course so we can leverage the full power of free online access to medical education. If you follow on twitter you may have caught the conversation, but in case you missed it, I've storify'd the tweets (embedded below) for you.
Crew Resource Management
We kick off the Air Care & Mobile Care Online Orientation with posts on some of the most important aspects of helicopter EMS - safety, survival and the basics of operating around the helicopter as a crew member. We’ll start off by talking about Crew Resource Management (CRM). In this first podcast, chief pilot Bob Francis, flight nurse Dennis Schmidt, and Dr. Ryan Gerecht sit down and talk about the basics of CRM and what it means to pilots and flight crew.
