Today was the third day of the SAFE Course. Each week we are training twelve
anesthesia residents or technicians in teaching methods. The trainers had a one-day course at
the beginning and have been paired with faculty members for all the small group
sessions. Each session is run four
times with a different group of participants, so the trainers keep taking more
responsibility for the session. They are bright and keen to teach. It has been completely inspiring to
watch them jump into teaching with such enthusiasm. They truly rise to the occasion.
Many people have commented on how wonderful it is to meet
colleagues from around Rwanda.
Some people work in very isolated settings. One technician told me that she has no help in providing anesthesia. If she needs cricoid pressure for
intubation, she has to ask one of the cleaners.
We’ve had very positive feedback on the course. One of the teachers commented that he
expected to find people sleeping after lunch but instead saw everyone engaged
with the program. It helps so much
that most of the sessions are outdoors in fresh air.
