Special Study Module (SSM) in Anaesthesia
Dr Douglas Crockett, Clinical Lecturer for the Nuffield Division of Anaesthetics, organises the Final Year medical students’ SSM. This is a two week course that introduces the medical students to anaesthesia and allows them to practice airway management and other skills. The two weeks also include lectures and tutorials given by members of the department and a day in the OxSTaR Simulation suite, where the students manage acutely ill patients in specifically designed scenarios.
