From 2 to 4 October 2019, the XXVI congress of the Czech Society of Anaesthesiology, Resuscitation and Intensive Medicine took place in the Brno Exhibition Center. The organization of the congress and the scholarly program was also largely attended by employees of the Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University and the University Hospital Brno, who significantly participated in the scholarly program, and were also represented in the scientific and organizational committee of the Society.
More than 1100 participants from all over the Czech Republic and Slovakia participated in the congress.
Among the speakers were members of the expert team of the strategic project MUNI 4.0 and SIMU Štourač, Schwarz, Kosinova, Harazim, Prokopova, Klučka and Kratochvíl.
The expert project team also participated in the preparation of three workshops (out of a total of 11). "Workshop focused on teaching artificial lung ventilation" took place on Friday under the baton of Milan Kratochvil and Mark Kovar. The second workshop entitled "How to Prepare a Lesson Using Interactive Algorithms AKUTNĚ.CZ" led by Hana Harazim, Tereza Prokopová and Olga Smékalová focused on anaesthesiologists involved in medical education or first aid training (for other specializations or non-medical healthcare profession ). Lecturers introduced the concept of "virtual patient" and the basic principles of "Problem-Based Learning". The third workshop focused on demonstrating ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia was "Distributed workshop in regional anesthesia", where one of the lecturers was Martina Kosinová.
This year, 55 students received the Dean’s Award in Czech study programs and the Excellence Award in English study programs across several categories. The awards were presented to the students by the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at MU, Martin Repko, Vice-Dean Eva Brichtová, and Vice-Dean Lubomír Křivan.
The Surgical Suturing Project was created as a student initiative to teach future doctors basic surgical techniques. After its demise during the pandemic, a group of students decided to passionately revive and expand the project. Today, they form a series of several workshops and the courses are accredited as an elective course for general medicine students at the MU Faculty of Medicine. The courses combine practical skills with innovative learning methods. The teaching takes place in the Simulation Centre of the Faculty of Medicine.
