Learn how to respond with confidence, competence, and leadership in emergency situation. Your actions can save lives!

In the 3rd edition of the course Skills on and response to resuscitation and other life-threatening scenarios the following skills, situations and topics will be approached:

  1. Scene assessment and safe approach
  2. The “chain of survival”
  3. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
  4. Automated External Defibrillation (AED)
  5. “Stop the Bleed” campaign: skills and protocol
  6. Response to choking (foreign body airway obstruction)
  7. The Hartford Consensus: “THREAT” and “Run-Hide-Fight” protocols
  8. Campus resilience awareness campaign

The course implements problem-based learning and the principles of universal design to enhance accessibility and inclusion. It will grant 3 ECTS credits.

The in-person part will take place at the University of Alcalá starting on 15 June 2026. Participants will return on 19 June 2026 fully prepared for online sessions.

Content and Methodology

Online lectures, presentations, and training in CPR, AED, and other emergency scenarios (both in adults and pediatric patients) will be included. Simulation-based learning, mixed virtual reality (VR) for critical incidents, problem-based learning, crisis resource management (CRM), the “pit crew attitude”, and teamwork will be used as methodologies.

In one session, innovative learning through virtual reality (immersive experience with VR goggles) will be implemented.

Pre-and post-tests, as well as wrap-up sessions, will follow a flipped learning and flipped teaching approach.

Briefing and debriefing sessions will take place after a gymkhana involving several simulated scenarios.

Each new edition (the 3rd in this case) is improved through a review of existing scenarios, the addition of new ones, and continuous updates in technology and development by the IT team and teaching staff.
