For the second consecutive year, a team of physicians and other health professionals from Cooper University Health Care\u2019s Division of Critical Care Medicine<\/a> traveled to Tanzania to provide advanced medical education at Muhimbili University and Hospital in Dar Es Salaam. Muhimbili Hospital is the largest hospital in Tanzania, with 1,500 beds serving a city with a population of more than seven million people. Tanzania is the most populous country in Eastern Africa, bordering the Indian Ocean, with a population of more than 60 million people.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of our multi-year effort, we are committed to\u00a0sharing\u00a0our knowledge with colleagues\u00a0around the world\u00a0to improve patient care. We\u00a0are\u00a0honored to partner with budding Intensivists at Muhimbili on their journey to build high reliability intensive care units,\u201d\u00a0said Nitin Puri, MD<\/a>,\u00a0head of Critical Care Medicine at Cooper, who organized the trip. The team did 52 hours of teaching at three different hospitals during the trip.<\/p>\n

Funded by a grant from The Cooper Foundation<\/a>, the team taught Fundamentals of Critical Care Support (FCCS), a course developed by Cooper critical care physician Dr. Philip Dellinger<\/a> for the Society of Critical Care Medicine in 1995.\u00a0The course comprises 26 lectures and hands-on skills stations over two days. In Cooper\u2019s effort to build capacity, four of the instructors of the course this year were Tanzanian physicians, with the ultimate goal of the partnership is for the FCCS course to be independently run by physicians in Tanzania.<\/p>\n

The training mission is a partnership between Cooper University Hospital, Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, and George Washington University in Washington, DC. In addition to Dr. Puri<\/a>, the Cooper team included Jason Bartock, MD<\/a>, Lindsey Glaspey, DO<\/a>, Adam Green, MD<\/a>, Brendan Gill, MD<\/a>, Troy Rivera, MD, and advanced practice providers Eugene McEady, APN<\/a>, Melanie Colgan, PA<\/a>, and Joy Bender, APN<\/a>. They were joined by Eric Flenaugh, MD, from Morehouse School of Medicine and Jeffrey Williams, MD, from George Washington University.<\/p>\n

Based on the positive feedback of the teaching mission in previous years, the Cooper team extended the conference by two days to build on the FCCS course knowledge base and brought a critical care fellow from the Cooper Critical Care fellowship program to help with the increased teaching duties. Cooper University Hospital ICU advanced practice nurses Eugene McEady (lead) and Joy Bender furthered our relationships in Dar es Salaam with critical care lectures to ICU nurses at neighboring Aga Khan Hospital.<\/p>\n

The team was in Tanzania from November 1 through November 11, 2023.<\/p>\n
