Pre-course materials

Work through these before the course. The written examination comes first, so do it before you read anything else, or the baseline is worthless.

1. Written examination

Twenty-five items. This is not the credential and it is not graded against you. It measures whether the teaching worked and shows where coaching should go.

The examination is moving to an online form. Link to follow. If you need it before then, ask and I will send the PDF.

2. Reading

Two handouts from Scott Weingart's EMCrit ventilator series. Read the management article first, then keep the handout to hand during the course.

3. Video

Reading and video by Scott Weingart, EMCrit. Linked with credit, not reproduced.
