In an effort to bolster emergency response skills among future healthcare professionals, the Mountain Medicine Society of Nepal (MMSN) recently organized a Basic Life Support (BLS) training session for third and fourth-year medical students today. The session, attended by 20 students, featured simulated CPR scenarios aimed at providing hands-on experience in managing critical situations.
Integral to the success of the training were pre-test and post-test questionnaires, which gauged participants’ knowledge and skills before and after the session. Encouraging results demonstrated the effectiveness of the training and highlighted its potential for replication across medical colleges in Nepal.
Special thanks are extended to Dr. Kamal Thapa, President of MMSN, for his support in arranging the event. Dr. Thapa’s commitment to advancing medical education has been instrumental in driving initiatives aimed at enhancing the skills of future healthcare leaders.
Looking forward, MMSN aims to expand such training programs to encompass all medical colleges, ensuring broader access to life-saving techniques for aspiring healthcare professionals. By leveraging the success of this pilot project, MMSN is poised to make a lasting impact on the preparedness of Nepal’s medical workforce, ultimately saving lives and strengthening healthcare delivery nationwide.
Additionally, the results of the analysis of the pre-test and post-test will be thoroughly examined and published at a later date, providing valuable insights into the effectiveness of the training and informing future initiatives in medical education and emergency preparedness.
