World Health Organization Basic Emergency Care Training of Trainers

This course is co-sponsored by the SAEM Global Emergency Medicine Academy (GEMA). In response to the need for emergency care education in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), the WHO BEC TOT course was developed by the World Health Organization in conjunction with the International Committee for the Red Cross. Participants will learn how to teach this course to frontline healthcare providers in LMICs through case scenarios within small groups, lectures, skills stations that provide hands-on practice and interactive large group discussions.

• Articulate and discuss course content, agenda, requirements, and logistical needs

• Discuss the processes for accrediting and registering a basic emergency care course
