    1. Using Simulation to Teach Life-Saving Techniques to Medical Students: A Day Long Workshop Mark A. Kirk, MD Co-Director; Medical Simulation Center Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine and Pediatrics Elisabeth B. Wright, BS Director of Operations; Medical Simulation Center

    2. Introduction

    3. UVA Simulation Program The Perfect Storm Our Starting Point: 2004 1 bored simulator, one abandoned office and some eager folks Clinical Connections A day with 140 medical students as captives A hot political issue Ethical Considerations

    5. Clinical Connections Disaster Medicine

    7. Ethical Considerations in the Use of Laboratory ANIMALS FOR Research and Teaching Report to the President University of Virginia

    8. The University of Virginia says it will no longer use dogs to teach lifesaving procedures to medical students - a practice criticized by animal rights activists, local residents and some students. The university, which made the announcement Thursday, had used canines in medical school training for at least 20 years. Officials said about 100 healthy dogs per year were put to death after being cut open in class. Third-year medical students used the dogs to learn how to insert chest tubes, open an airway by cutting into the windpipe, insert IV needles into veins and remove the spleen. Dr. Arthur Garson, dean of the medical school, said three of the four procedures could easily be taught on computerized mannequins.

    9. Pilot Study Part of Clinical Connections: Disaster Medicine Invited Deans and Media Collected Student Data Successful pilot led to required one day workshop for 3rd year medical students Current status 6 sessions per year 30 students per session Funded by School of Medicine
