Each site offers unique and differing opportunities for our students to gain additional hands-on exposure.
SILVER-Q
SILVER-Q is an interprofessional, multi-disciplinary teaching and learning program. In an immersive, simulated ward or emergency department environment, students from different disciplines work together using clinical problem solving skills and knowledge to assess the situation, make a diagnosis and implement a management plan for their “patient/s” (local actors). Junior doctors who were former students and local senior clinicians from a variety of health professions teach into the SILVER-Q program.
The aims of the program are to assist participating students to:
- Transition into the health care workforce as safe and confident graduates at a level of work readiness
- Develop a better understanding of their own role within a health care team
- Develop a better understanding of the role of other health care providers in the team
ER112- Pre-Hospital Trauma Day
As medical students you’ll work with Emergency medical staff and respond to a pre-hospital trauma simulation. Students will need to call on multiple skills as they secure the scene, assess and treat injured patients, prioritise care of multiple patients, give handovers and liaise with the staff at the scene. Each simulation offers different emergency situations with an aim to teach students pre-hospital trauma skills, triage and practice liaising with emergency services personnel.
LifeFlight – Pre-Hospital Trauma Day
LifeFlight experiences are available for our RCS students.
The experience usually includes a presentation on the critical role LifeFlight Doctors, and their team play during their daily operations.
Followed by a Trauma Mass Casualty Incident simulation – where students can see and understand what is done by the LifeFlight crew to save lives during such incidents, see the RACQ Life Flight Rescue Helicopter, participate in role play activities and followed by a Q&A.
