Basic Emergency Care Course

• Formal education in emergency care is lacking in most low- or middle-income countries.

• In 2019, 2020, & 2023, we taught the World Health Organization’s Basic Emergency Care course at Clarke International University in Kampala. 

• This course was developed for healthcare workers at all levels including physicians, nurses, clinical officers, and others who practice in low- or middle-resource environments.

• It is a 4-5 day course with a workbook, lectures, and skill stations.

• Local healthcare workers are encouraged and supported to teach the content to their colleagues.
