Saturday, January 17, 2026 “The Child from Head to Toe”

Program

8:00–9:30 a.m. – Both workshops will take place simultaneously

Pediatric Simulation

Emergency situations will be simulated and acted out using two different cases involving various age groups. Participants will be assigned to small groups to work through the case and manage the situation with the patient.

After a detailed briefing, the groups will be assigned to their respective scenarios and the training will begin. Following the training, our tutors will lead a joint evaluation and debriefing.

Using models, participants will practice performing ultrasound scans of blood vessels and nerves in children and will be introduced to the various techniques and anatomical structures by experienced tutors.
