Challenges in Emergency Department Management: A Case Studies Approach
EDs face continuing challenges that result in frequent trial and error approaches with intermittent stressful effects. Experiences gained in addressing these have yet to be distilled into prescriptive models for others. This workshop by senior faculty with many years of varying experiences is the first to use well-developed case studies to educate those who need to manage large and busy EDs. The issues discussed range from day-to-day matters such as management of quality indicators to the other extreme of approach to an infectious disease outbreak. Issues discussed include setting up of new services in EDs as well as developing brand new Departments. This will allow future ED chiefs to better cope with similar challenges in their work areas.

Course in Crisis Resource Management: Effective Teamwork and Decision Making (A Simulation-based approach)
Decision-making in clinical emergencies is fraught with difficulties and potential pitfalls, many of which can have serious consequences for our patients. Course participants will learn about role definition and open communication in crisis resource management and can apply and reflect on these concepts through repeated hands-on practice and work together to manage emergency scenarios. At the end of the course, participants will be able to respond with greater confidence and as a coordinated team to real-life clinical emergencies in order to improve patient safety and outcome.

Focused Ultrasound For Emergency & Critical Care Workshop
The concept of 'emergency and critical ultrasound' refers to ultrasonography applied in 'point-of-care' environment such as emergency departments, ICUs, pre-hospital care, austere environments, disaster scenes, tactical operations, and humanitarian care missions. In such settings point-of-care image acquisition and interpretation, integrated with advanced life support protocols (e.g. ACLS, ATLS) according 'ABCDE' and 'Head-to-toes' -type approaches, allows for rapid and effective decision making, enhanced triage, diagnosis, therapy, monitoring, and follow up. This 2-day course aims to introduce basic algorithm-based ultrasound assessment through guidance by an experienced faculty and hands-on practical on clinical cases.
