Introducing the Emergency Medicine Academic Collaboration
The Keys of Health project has been training physicians in Canada for a few years now with good success. Training Palestinian physicians in countries such as Canada is expensive, and is the first part of creating a sustainable training mechanism that works domestically.
The Emergency Medicine Academic Collaboration will create a full-spectrum relationship between Gaza and London, Canada, allowing physicians, residents and medical students to travel in both directions to teach and learn. With time, the project will grow to involve nurses, administrators and other members of the Emergency department.
Your commitment
Your commitment to the project will be at least 2 weeks per year of on-the-ground clinical teaching in Gaza for 5 years. A higher level of commitment is also possible. Financial responsibility for getting yourself to and from Gaza will be yours (airplane to Tel Aviv and taxi or train to Gaza), but all costs once inside Gaza will be covered either by donations or the Ministry of Health
You will do clinical (on-shift) teaching of residents and medical students and will participate in the Emergency Medicine Board’s weekly training sessions as a participant or a presenter.
Your safety
This project is not an emergency response project, but rather an infrastructure-building project. If there is an increase in bombings or other military activities, activities of this program will be suspended. The project will follow general NGO safety guidelines for the region.
If you are on the ground when fighting begins, we will keep you as safe as is possible and evacuate you as soon as possible. If a physician chooses to remain throughout the war, she or he will be free to make that choice. Residents and students will be mandated to evacuate.
