Escape Rooms
Clinical Escape Room – Shocking Escape: A Clinical Cardiovascular Escape Room Sunday-Monday, 7-8 November
This is no ordinary intensive care shift! You notice that your patient is showing signs of progressive shock, but his door is locked, and the key is missing! Your team must use its clinical knowledge to gain access before his time is up. This clinical escape room showcases multiple puzzles that are both innovative and affordable. Collaborate with other team members to complete the tasks—and consider how a similar game may grow the knowledge and teamwork of your students, staff, or local chapter. Not a cardiac expert? No problem. Multiple resources are provided. Feel free to sign up with your colleagues—or network with any group!
