We have learnt a lot of emergency procedures, such as pericardiocentesis and thoracotomy from textbooks and online videos.

However, there is rarely a chance to practice these procedures. When the time comes -- unfortunately it is very likely to be your FIRST time to do it in a crashing patient!

This workshop can give you HANDS-ON opportunities to practise these uncommon but yet essential skills on cadavers.
