UBC Residents Win Simulation Olympics at CAEP!
The Simulation Olympiad returned for its 4th year at CAEP in Edmonton last week. Eight teams from EM programs across Canada competed for national bragging rights as they demonstrated their communication skills, teamwork, and crisis management skills under pressure. Each team of four consisted of at least one 1 senior resident, 1 junior resident, and at least 1 nurse, medical student, paramedic or respiratory therapist.
After 2 days of gruelling competition, UBC was declared the national champion! Congratulations to Nikki Holms, Wesley Jang, Kelsey Innes, and Sherry Stackhouse!
