The College of Medicine at Karbala University organized a training course for final-year students and recent graduates to handle emergency cases and cardiac crises in emergency rooms, resuscitation, and urgent matters.
This course was organized in cooperation with the Rehabilitation and Employment Unit, the Emergency Department at Karbala Health Directorate, and the Iraq Medical Association/Karbala Branch. It was held under the auspices of the American Heart Association.
The course aims to develop the knowledge, skills, and behavior of young and near-graduation doctors in dealing with emergency situations, loss of consciousness, choking, and more through theoretical lectures and direct practical training. Those who pass the course are awarded two certificates from the American Heart Association (AHA) in ACLS and BLS.
The main lecturer for the course was Dr. Imran Imam, an Emergency Medicine specialist from California, USA, in addition to local trainers from the College of Medicine and Karbala Health Directorate.
The course targeted sixth-year students, newly graduated doctors, and residency doctors.
