The Resus Course is born out of a desire to empower emergency physicians to own what we were trained to do - Resuscitate. We are not defined by what we do frequently, but by the education and skills we have to perform in high acuity scenarios. The Resus Course provides a learning opportunity for those infrequent events. Borrowing from evidence based educational programs, The Resus Course uses a flipped class room model, with deliberate practice to enhance resuscitation skills.
Bespoke Resus
Looking for a custom made resuscitation course for your emergency department or group of providers?
Coming soon, we will be offering bespoke resuscitation courses. Tailor the procedures, simulations and workshops to the specific needs of your group.
We will conduct a consultation with your group, explore your needs, and provide you with a quote for a custom made resuscitation course.
THE RESUS COURSE
Coming in 2024, open registration for our full 2 day resuscitation course. Learn all the resuscitation procedures and skills you will ever need to know. We combine clinical grade cadavers, advanced simulation and workshops to deliver a premier resuscitation education experience.
Space and Stuff
The Resus Course is hosted at two sites within the QEII Simulation Program - the Skills Centre and the Sim Bay. Both spaces and equipment available will provide an environment that mimics a standard resuscitation area.
