SGH Madinah Advanced Trauma Life Support

What learning needs or gap(s) in knowledge, attitudes, skills, or performance of the intended target audience did the scientific planning committee identify for this activity?

Our Symposium is an approach for the ultimate Emergency Medicine symposium experience. The top docs, cutting-edge tech, life-saving education, and a community of practice from across the globe.

Emergency Medicine is a very dynamic and evolving science especially in the era of post-COVID. A lot of updates in many disciplines of emergency medicine need to be delivered to the frontliners who fight everyday battles against everyday challenges as well as the COVID burden.

COVID also created restrictions in the cooperation between healthcare facilities in providing emergency medicine services in Madina. A need for the virtual meeting exists.
