The residents at UC San Diego hone their crisis management skills through extensive use of a high fidelity simulator. Each resident is exposed to eight critical incident scenarios per year either as the primary provider, assistant or observer for each of their years as a trainee. Following each scenario we have an extensive debriefing session to discuss aspects of the cases and lessons learned.
