Injury Prevention Research Training in Egypt and the Middle East

随着数以千计的人死亡、受伤和残疾，伤害是一个日益严重的全球公共卫生问题 每天。作为世界上导致死亡和残疾的主要原因之一，人类创伤和伤害 对发展中国家的个人造成不成比例的影响。创伤和损伤在低海拔和低海拔地区的影响 中等收入国家是毁灭性的，因此需要加大努力培训卫生保健专业人员和 关于这个主题的研究人员。在之前的福格蒂国际中心伤病培训赠款资助期间，我们 培训了来自埃及、伊拉克、苏丹、巴勒斯坦、也门、阿曼、阿富汗和其他国家的约950名学员 该地区的一个或多个国家的培训课程是通过这一计划启动的。在40名实习生中 谁完成了长期的暑期强化培训和导师研究课程，90% 注册/完成高级学位，接受学术机构的教职，或正在为 国家或国际机构。作为我们过去11年来成功工作的延续 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， 1)继续培训我们不断壮大的创伤专家和急诊医生队伍 在创伤复苏、损伤研究和数据收集方面使用目前可用的方法 关于伤害；2)扩大我们精选的熟练健康专业人员团队，他们接受了我们在夏季密集伤害方面的培训 研究培训课程，然后是在国内指导的研究活动(包括硕士和博士 学位)，以巩固和扩大我们在埃及和阿拉伯中东的伤害研究人员核心小组，以及 与他们合作开发可持续的伤害研究计划；以及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合作，建立区域基础设施， 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途径实现 一个协调和有组织的计划，建立在加州大学和哥伦比亚大学之间现有的成功合作基础上 在美国和埃及专家的指导下，马里兰大学和艾因沙姆斯大学。这 协作结构将使我们能够协助艾因沙姆斯大学、埃及卫生部和其他 埃及、苏丹和阿拉伯中东的卫生专业人员增加他们的知识和理解 并将这一知识应用于公共卫生和临床实践，以便 以降低伤害造成的显着发病率和死亡率。提供的专业知识深度 马里兰大学巴尔的摩分校，特别是与创伤病人的护理和运动研究有关的课程 车祸、创伤复苏和伤害预防提供了与 阿拉伯中东地区的专家对这些教育工作进行了研究。

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.
