Run better rural resuscitations.
Free, field-tested in situ simulation for small emergency departments.
Built in a working rural ED. No simulation lab required.
Start with what you have.
A basic mannequin. Your resuscitation room. Your usual equipment. Two facilitators. About 30 minutes.
That’s enough to start.
HOW WE DO IT
Keep it simple.
PRIME →
Tell them whats coming.
PREBRIEF →
Make it safe.

Fix what you find
SHARE
Let the learning travel
About 30 minutes together, for learning that can reach the whole department.
SIMULATION AS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
The simulation isn’t only testing the team.
It’s testing the ED.
Simulate → Debrief → Find the gap → Fix it → Repeat
