Injury Prevention Research Training in Egypt and the Middle East

伤害是全球范围内日益严重的公共卫生问题，因为成千上万的人死亡，受伤和残疾 每天作为世界上死亡和残疾的主要原因之一，人类创伤和伤害 对发展中国家个人的影响尤为严重。创伤和伤害对低收入家庭的影响 对中等收入国家的影响是毁灭性的，因此需要加大力度培训卫生保健专业人员， 科研人员对这一课题。在以前的福格蒂国际中心受伤培训补助金资助，我们 培训了来自埃及、伊拉克、苏丹、巴勒斯坦、也门、阿曼、阿富汗和其他 区域国家参加通过该方案开办的一个或多个培训班。在四十名受训人员中， 在完成了长期的暑期强化培训和指导研究课程的学生中，90%的人 注册/完成高级学位，接受学术机构的教师职位，或正在为 国家或国际机构。作为我们过去十一年成功工作的延续 在阿拉伯埃及共和国的伤害预防研究培训中，我们将实现三个主要目标， 这是1）继续培训我们不断增长的专家创伤学家和急诊医生骨干， 在创伤复苏、损伤研究和数据收集中使用当前可用的方法 关于伤害; 2）扩大我们精选的训练有素的卫生专业人员群体，在我们密集的夏季伤害 研究培训课程，然后是国内指导的研究活动（包括硕士和博士研究生） 度），巩固和扩大我们在埃及和阿拉伯中东的伤害研究人员的核心小组， 与他们合作，制定可持续的伤害研究计划; 3）进一步发展和加强 通过与苏伊士运河大学的同事和机构的合作， 苏丹、沙特阿拉伯和其他阿拉伯中东国家。这些目标将通过以下方式实现： 一个协调和有组织的计划，建立在大学与大学之间现有的成功合作的基础上 马里兰州和艾因夏姆斯大学在美国和埃及专家的指导下。这 合作结构将使我们能够协助艾因夏姆斯大学，埃及卫生部，和其他 埃及、苏丹和阿拉伯中东地区的卫生专业人员，以增加他们的知识和了解 人类创伤和伤害预防，并将这些知识应用于公共卫生和临床实践， 以降低由伤害引起的显著发病率和死亡率。在现有的专业知识的深度 马里兰州大学，巴尔的摩，特别是因为它涉及到创伤患者的护理和运动研究 车祸、创伤复苏和伤害预防，提供了一个理想的机会， 阿拉伯中东地区的专家对这些教育工作的看法。

Injuries are a growing public health problem worldwide as thousands of people are killed, injured, and disabled every day. As one of the leading causes of death and disability in the world, human trauma and injury disproportionately affect individuals in developing countries. The impact of trauma and injuries in low-and middle-income countries is devastating, thus requiring increased efforts to train health care professionals and research faculty on this topic. During previous Fogarty International Center injury training grant funding, we trained approximately 950 trainees from Egypt, Iraq, Sudan, Palestine, Yemen, Oman, Afghanistan and other regional countries in one or more of the training course initiated through this program. Of the forty trainees who completed the long-term intensive summer training and mentored research course, 90% have enrolled/completed advanced degrees, accepted faculty positions in academic institutions, or are working for a national or international agency. As a continuation of our previous successful work over the past eleven years in injury prevention research training in the Arab Republic of Egypt, we will accomplish three main objectives, which are to 1) Continue to train our growing cadre of expert traumatologists and emergency physicians in the use of currently available methodologies in trauma resuscitation, injury research, and the collection of data about injuries; 2) Expand our select skilled group of health professionals trained in our intensive summer injury research training courses, followed by in-country mentored research activities (including masters and doctoral degrees), to cement and expand our core group of injury researchers in Egypt and the Arab Middle East and work with them to develop sustainable injury research programs; and 3) Further develop and strengthen regional infrastructure through collaborative efforts with colleagues and institutions in Suez Canal University, Sudan, Saudi Arabia and other Arab Middle Eastern Countries. These objectives will be accomplished through a coordinated and organized program built upon the existing successful collaboration between the University of Maryland and Ain Shams University with guidance from experts in the United States and in Egypt. This collaborative structure will allow us to assist Ain Shams University, the Egyptian Ministry of Health, and other health professionals in Egypt, Sudan, and the Arab Middle East to increase their knowledge and understanding of human trauma and injury prevention and apply this knowledge in public health and clinical practice in order to decrease the significant morbidity and mortality caused by injuries. The depth of expertise available at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, especially as it relates to the care of trauma patients and research in motor vehicle crashes, trauma resuscitation, and injury prevention, provides an ideal opportunity to collaborate with experts in the Arab Middle East on these educational efforts.
