AAs lead Kenya training

Dec 7, 2017

Last October, Sabena Kachwalla,CM, and Bob Culver, CM, repre-sented anesthesiologist assistants at the National Association of Clinical Officers in Anesthesia (NACOA) annual convention at the Seven Islands Resort in Malindi, Kenya. Sabena delivered two lectures to an audience of more than 120 COAs. Bob conducted two workshops for BLS and ACLS to groups of 30-plus Clinical Officers.

The invitation to participate at this conference was the result of the Case Western program in Washington, D.C. Case Western has been actively assisting the Clinical Officers in Anesthesia program at Kenya Medical Training Center (KMTC) in Nairobi, Kenya for several years. The success of the outreach has resulted in developing annual BLS/ACLS courses for the students at KMTC as well as monthly tele-conferences of student case presentations involving both campuses.

The next trip to Kenya will see AAs leading the Resuscitation Training Program, May 11-18, 2018. Also, AAs have been asked to participate in the next annual convention of NACOA to be held in October 2018. AAs who would like to participate should contact Bob Culver at 404-219-4483 or cprbobnow@gmail.com.
