- Abstract
2016 marked the 10-year anniversary of the inception of the Managing Emergencies in Paediatric Anaesthesia (MEPA) course. This simulation-based program was originally created to allow trainees in pediatric anesthesia to experience operating room emergencies which although infrequent, would be considered key competencies for any practicing anesthetist with responsibility for providing care to children. Since its original manifestation, the course has evolved in content, scope, and worldwide availability, such that it is now available at over 60 locations on five continents. The content has been modified for different learner groups and translated into several languages. This article describes the history, evolution, and dissemination of the MEPA course to share lessons learnt with educators considering the launch of similar initiatives in their field.
