Chapter #1 – Introduction to the Course

Welcome to the introductory podcast episode of the Auckland Helicopter Rescue Trust simulation based, pre-hospital critical care curriculum. This episode will introduce the ARHT education team and outline the goals and structure of the curriculum.

Below you will find some more information relating to the concept of a “flipped classroom” as well as the use of simulation in medical education.
