A pediatric emergency medicine and critical care fellowship was recently developed in Kenya through the University of Nairobi/Kenyatta National Hospital and AIC Kijabe Hospital. As part of this training, a week-long trauma and emergency medicine course was developed with emphasis on trauma and emergency medicine procedures. Given limited resources, we developed a course with simulation of procedures centered around utilization of a goat cadaver.
The aim of the study was to describe fellow and faculty experiences and perspectives when using a goat cadaver to teach emergency medicine procedures by simulation in Kijabe, Kenya.
A 5-day course was given to 2 fellows with a variety of didactics and simulations after which fellows completed a questionnaire to rate their satisfaction with the content and teaching effectiveness.
The course was rated very highly, with an average content satisfaction score of 4.5 5 and average teaching effectiveness score of 4.4 of 5. Qualitative faculty feedback was positive, with specific learnings allowing ongoing adaptation of this model.
A goat cadaver is a cost-effective resource not often considered that can be adequately used to teach several emergency medicine skills by simulation.
肯尼亚内罗毕大学/肯雅塔国家医院和 AIC 基贾贝医院最近通过儿科急诊医学和危重病学奖学金项目开展了培训。作为该培训的一部分，开发了一个为期一周的创伤和急诊医学课程，重点是创伤和急诊医学程序。考虑到资源有限，我们开发了一门以使用山羊尸体模拟程序为中心的课程。
本研究旨在描述肯尼亚基贾贝使用山羊尸体进行模拟教学来教授急诊医学程序时，研究员和教师的经验和观点。
对 2 名研究员进行了为期 5 天的课程，包括各种教学方法和模拟训练，然后研究员完成了一份问卷，对课程内容和教学效果进行评分。
课程评价非常高，内容满意度平均得分为 4.5 分（满分 5 分），教学效果平均得分为 4.4 分（满分 5 分）。教师的反馈是积极的，具体的学习内容允许对该模型进行持续的调整。
山羊尸体是一种成本效益高的资源，通常不被认为可以充分用于通过模拟教授几种急诊医学技能。
