Injury Prevention Research Training in Egypt

描述（由申请人提供）：作为我们之前在Charles McC Mathias， Jr.国家创伤和紧急医疗服务研究中心和R Adams Cowley休克创伤中心进行的伤害预防研究和创伤复苏工作的延续，以及我们在埃及与流行病学和预防医学系国际卫生司25年成功合作的跨学科项目的历史，我们这项工作的目标将分为四个领域。首先，我们将向流行病学家和其他公共卫生专业人员教授基本和高级流行病学技能，以加强埃及境内可持续的人类创伤和伤害研究；第二，我们将发展和扩大国内院前和应急准备的能力和专门知识；第三，我们将培训一支创伤学家和急诊医生骨干队伍，让他们使用目前最先进的方法进行创伤复苏、复苏研究以及如何收集复苏数据；第四，我们将与血液学家合作，继续发展血库和输血医学。我们正在进行的努力和教学经验相结合，将使我们能够帮助埃及卫生和人口部以及其他埃及卫生专业人员增加他们对人类创伤和伤害预防的知识和理解，并将这些知识应用于公共卫生实践，以减少伤害造成的重大发病率和死亡率。我们的具体目标是：1)发展国内教育项目，教授可持续的伤害预防技能，以建立研究人类创伤和伤害预防的能力；2)在埃及建立国际紧急情况研究中心项目，其任务是研究创伤性伤害的原因、动态、治疗和结果，并应用这些知识来减轻伤害的负担；3)为埃及卫生专业人员提供指导培训机会。考虑到马里兰大学专业知识的深度，我们有一个理想的环境来合作开展这些教育工作。马里兰大学巴尔的摩分校国际公认的伤害预防研究和创伤复苏实践结合我们与埃及卫生专业人员的密切工作关系，为伤害预防和反应培训计划的发展提供了一个杰出的框架。拟议的合作将为开展高质量的创伤、伤害和血库研究提供培训环境，这些研究对于埃及来说至关重要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As a continuation of our previous work in injury prevention research at the Charles McC Mathias, Jr. National Study Center for Trauma and Emergency Medical Services and in trauma resuscitation at R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, along with our 25-year history of successful collaborative, transdisciplinary projects in Egypt with the Division of International Health in the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, our goals for this work will fall into four areas. First, we will teach basic and advanced epidemiological skills to epidemiologists and other public health professionals to strengthen sustainable human trauma and injury research within Egypt; second, we will develop and expand in-country capacity and expertise for prehospital and emergency preparedness; third, we will train a cadre of traumatologists and emergency physicians in the use of the most sophisticated, currently available methodologies in trauma resuscitation, resuscitation research and how to gather data about resuscitation; and fourth, we will collaborate with hematologists in the continuing development of blood banking and transfusion medicine. The combination of our ongoing efforts and teaching experience will allow us to help the Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population and other Egyptian health professionals increase their knowledge and understanding of human trauma and injury prevention and apply this knowledge in public health practice to decrease the significant morbidity and mortality caused by injuries. Our specific aims are: 1) to develop in-country educational programs to teach sustainable injury prevention skills that build capacity to research human trauma and injury prevention, 2) to create the Program for International Emergency Research Center in Egypt, whose mission will be to study the causes, dynamics, treatments, and outcomes of traumatic injury and to apply this knowledge to decrease the burden of injuries, and 3) to provide mentored training opportunities for Egyptian Health Professionals. Considering the depth of expertise available at the University of Maryland, we have an ideal environment to collaborate on these educational efforts. The combination of University of Maryland, Baltimore's internationally recognized injury prevention research and trauma resuscitation practices in conjunction with our close working relationship with Egyptian health professionals provides an outstanding framework for the development of an injury prevention and response training program. The proposed collaboration will provide the setting for training to conduct high quality research on trauma, injury, and blood banking, research that is essential if Egypt is to develop the expertise to reduce the devastating impact caused by thousands of annual traumatic injuries and deaths.
