Crisis Code app for iPhone and iPad

Crisis Code is designed to teach Crisis Management for Advanced Cardiac Life Support. It was developed by Larry Chu, MD, Kyle Harrison, MD and the Stanford AIM Lab.

Healthcare professionals are required to handle medical emergencies and crises. Yet, many these healthcare providers are not always knowledgeable about teamwork and evidence-based techniques for managing a medical crisis. This iPad-based course will teach physicians crisis resource management principles and the application in providing ACLS during cardiac arrest.

The instructional format for this course will include learning trigger videos and video podcast lectures.
