About This Course
Step into the high-stakes world of anesthesiology and discover the science, skill, and quick thinking behind keeping patients safe during surgery! The Anesthesiology course gives students an inside look at the critical role anesthesiologists play in modern medicine, from preparing patients for surgery to managing pain, monitoring vital signs, and guiding patients safely through recovery.
Through hands-on labs, and medical simulations, students will explore how anesthesia works, practice monitioring vital signs, learn the fundamentals of airway management and ventilation using training manikins, and discover the importance of sterile technique and operating room safety. They’ll also investigate how anesthesia teams recognize complications, respond to emergencies, and make critical decisions when every second counts.
TOPICS YOU'LL EXPLORE
Hands-on Learning
This is a learn-by-doing course. Students take and interpret vital signs, manage airways and ventilate training manikins, practice sterile gloving and OR safety protocols, and work with IV task trainers. The course ends with a operating room simulation where students care for a patient from pre-op through recovery.
Career Exploration
Students map out the full path to becomming. They will learn about other roles on the anesthesia care team, including nurse anesthetists, anesthesiologist assistants, and anesthesia technicians, subspecialist and pain medicine. Through conversations with professionals and an honest look at the pros and cons of the career, students will leave with a deeper understanding of the field and if anesthesiology or another path in healthcare, is the direction for them.
