Education

The department has organized various life support courses for undergraduates, postgraduates and nurses posted in the department. These courses have also benefitted residents from other disciplines of the institute. It has conducted AIIMS Emergency ECG and rapid sequence intubation courses for postgraduates of the institute as well as other colleges. The department runs a schedule of academic activities for the residents of Emergency Medicine (seminars, journal clubs, case discussions, panel discussions) twice a week for around nine hours. Education and skill are imparted to residents on the use of ultrasound in emergency care of patients. Simulation-based teaching (both table-top and on high-fidelity simulator) is imparted to the residents. Live workshops, cadaver-based training and hands-on skill session in first week of every month has provided confidence to residents in managing the patients. The faculty from the department have been a part of development of ‘e-modules’ for SET facility in the institute which helps in dissemination of medical knowledge to students in a standardized and practical format. In addition, the department faculty was involved in didactic teaching of undergraduates, postgraduates and nursing students through lectures and seminars, online as well as offline.
