Students begin in the emergency simulation suite, learning the ABCDE approach, triage prioritisation, and structured emergency workflows. The afternoon features multi-casualty and acute cardiac simulations, with rotating leadership roles and detailed clinical debriefs focused on reasoning under pressure.

The surgical day develops sterile technique, suturing mastery, and operating theatre protocols within DMU’s skills lab. Students conduct pre-operative assessments and manage an intra-operative crisis simulation, strengthening communication, consent discussions, and real-time decision-making.

Students adapt clinical assessment for neonates, infants, and adolescents, recognising red flags and safeguarding concerns. The day includes a febrile child simulation, paediatric BLS certification training, and an adolescent mental health case exploring confidentiality and risk assessment.

This day explores antenatal care pathways, pregnancy complications, and professional conduct in sensitive examinations. Students manage a labour ward emergency simulation and engage in interactive women’s health case discussions spanning reproductive health, contraception, and gynaecological conditions.

The final day integrates emergency, surgical, medical, and communication skills in a complex multi-system simulation led by students. The programme concludes with specialty exposure sessions, a medical school applications workshop, structured reflection, and certification.
