Emergency Care Implementation Tool (ECIT)

With only 26 emergency physicians serving all of Uganda, most facilities lack the expertise to deliver high-quality emergency care. The ECIT translates WHO-endorsed Emergency Care Assessment Tool (ECAT) gap analyses into a prioritized action plan for resourcelimited facilities — with plans to digitize both tools for broader reach across East Africa. Fellows play a central role in developing the implementation algorithm, digitization, and dissemination of ECAT and ECIT, with opportunities to contribute to major grant funding applications.
