With the Medical Simulation Center having its grand opening on May 11th, it was time for Wrocław to have its very own Simulation Competition. On Tuesday May 29th, nine teams competed in the Simulation Competition at the new Medical Simulation Center, to put their theoretical and practical knowledge to the test. Each team had four to five people, and were scored on their teamwork, practical skills, theoretical knowledge, and communication within the team, and also to the patient. Two of those teams from 3rd and 4th year represented English Division and the EMISA research society. With only 2 months to prepare, both teams were able to show what they’ve learned, and how they react to certain scenarios, such as a fire in a flat, with two victims in cardiac arrest and carbon monoxide poisoning; a woman giving birth to twins, having to resuscitate one of them; a boy post-op in anaphylactic shock with his parents outside wondering what is happening; a trauma case with a man that had his leg amputated from getting hit by a tram; and a virtual laparoscopic procedure to gain extra points. After the rigorous and exhausting work, we are proud to say, that The Defibrillators came in 3rd place! Congratulations, and excellent work to everyone involved!

More info will be posted on how to take part of the next Simulation Competition in the next academic school year.
