SPEAKER: Johan Creutzfeldt, MD
AFFILIATION: Center for Advanced Medical Simulation, Karolinska University Hospital; Stockholm, Sweden
Dept. of Anesthesia and Intensive Care

DETAILS: This presentation is intended to give a brief overview over the issues of using gaming technology (MMOS) in medical training. Our experiences and results from using Virtual World simulations to train medical students in CPR will be discussed.
Dr. Crutzfeldt graduated from Uppsala University 1992 and clinical rotation in the Stockholm area. DEAA 1999. Specialized in Aneasthesiology and Intensive Care (2000) and Pain Medicine (2004) and currently upholding a position as a consultant at the dep. of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care at Karolinska University Hospital. Part time instructor at the Center for Advanced Medical Simulation at the same hospital since 2003. Besides work as a trainer at the unit for full-scale patient simulation also active as PhD-student with a project dealing with the use of Virtual World for interactive team training of medical emergencies in high school and medical school, a joint project with prof Li Felländer-Tsai as supervisor, also involving Umeå Univesity and SUMMIT, Stanford, USA.
The Center for Advanced Medical Simulation is a core facility for systematic training within the Stockholm County, Karolinska University Hospital and Karolinska Institutet. Our work is directed towards implemetning a new safety culture in today's Swedish healthcare, validation and research of advanced medical simulators and human factors in high technological healthcare, developing curriculae embedding the use of advanced medical simulators for image guided surgery and endoscopy as well as crew resource management and procedural training in critical care management and anesthesia, and to develop basic accreditation in image guided surgery and endoscopy The teachers, researchers and instructors at the Center for Advanced Medical Simulation are a multidisciplinary group of physicians, nurses, psychologists and engineers. The following medical specialities are represented: Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Emergency Medicine, Cardiology, General Surgery, Urology, Orthopedic Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology. Psychology and Biomedical Engineering are equally represented.
