TCOM TeamSTEPPS® BLS Simulation

Students entering their 3rd year of TCOM participate in a TeamSTEPPS^® BLS Simulation where they demonstrate TeamSTEPPS^® strategies and tools while responding to a simulated emergent medical situation.

Objectives:

1. Students will apply TeamSTEPPS^® communication, leadership, situation monitoring, and mutual support strategies/tools to improve team performance across two cardiac arrest simulations
2. Students will utilize team briefs, huddles, and debriefs to improve team performance across two cardiac arrest simulations
3. Students will demonstrate an ability to identify and assess effective use of BLS training and teamwork strategies observed across two cardiac arrest simulations using a BLS teamwork observation survey
