Fundamentals of Disaster Management Courses (18-20.1.2008)
於2004年首次教授，由美國深切治療醫學會制訂去裝備專業人士處理大型災難的專門技巧，這一天的課程由本會於2008年1月18日至20日引入香港，於北區醫院舉行了3日同一系列的課程。使用156頁的課本為課前閱讀手冊，參與者體驗一個以導師為主的交互教育課程。邀請的海外教員包括劉易斯．魯賓遜醫生及詹姆斯．蓋靈醫生。前者為美國疾病控制及預防中心的高級醫學顧問，後者為美國紀律步隊服務大學軍事及急症醫學的兼任助理教授。
技巧訓練包括除污及個人防護裝備、大量傷者分流及現場指揮、及病狀的識別。學員對課程很受落。參與者由先遣人員以至急症科及深切治療科的顧問醫生。共134人參與，13人需要重考，只有一人仍未合格 — 合格率高於99%!
Developed by the Society of Critical Care Medicine and first taught in USA in 2004, this one-day course was introduced into Hong Kong by the Society to equip professionals with the expertise in managing large-scale disasters. A series of 3 courses were held at North District Hospital from 18-20 January 2008. Using the 156-page course handbook as a pre-reading guide, attendees worked through an interactive, instructor-led educational program. The invited overseas faculty included Dr. Lewis Rubinson, Senior Medical Consultant, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Dr. James Geiling, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Military and Emergency Medicine, Uniformed Services University.
Skill stations included: decontamination and personal protective equipment; triage of mass casualty victims and incident command; and recognition of presenting symptoms. The courses were well received. The participants ranged from consultants in intensive care or emergency medicine to first responders. Totally, there were 134 attendees, 13 required a retest and only 1 has not yet passed – a passing rate of more than 99%!
