The workshop format
01
Clinical care
Observation or participation with continuous supervision by Dr. J. Chhina. Patients follow the host clinic's assessment and consent pathway. The responsible physician decides what care is appropriate.
02
Simulation
A second experienced physician leads simulation and readiness assessment. Every learner receives simulation practice before any consideration of live participation.
03
Cases and records
Work through patient selection, evidence, escalation and documentation. Use fictional cases and blank teaching records.
Patient care determines
the clinical activity.
Live procedures depend on patient need, informed consent and individual readiness. A patient may decline learner involvement. The workshop does not promise a procedure count or a live injection for every learner.
