A survey conducted by OxPal of medical students across Palestinian medical schools showed that Emergency Medicine was the most requested topic for supplementary teaching from Oxford clinicians. Importantly a survey of Palestinian junior doctors also showed that Emergency Medicine was the specialty they felt they needed more teaching on before graduating.
A group of University of Oxford Emergency Medicine clinicians delivered a series of 10 lectures (plus 2 revision sessions) covering most of the key aspects of emergency medicine, running from October 2020 – December 2020.
Lecture topics:
- Human Factors & A-E Assessment of the Acutely Unwell Patient
- The Hypotensive Patient
- Acute Chest Pain
- Acute Breathlessness
- An Acute Abdomen
- Emergency Psychiatric Presentations
- Trauma & Burns
- Mid-term Quiz
- Acute Kidney Injury
- Endocrine Emergencies
- Disordered Consciousness
- Revision & Discussion

VIRTUAL REALITY
During this lecture series we also teamed up with the Oxford Medical Simulations team (https://oxfordmedicalsimulation.com/) to provide a set of VR simulations related to each lecture in which participants could assess, diagnose and treat patients with the OMS’ interdisciplinary team against the clock in different scenarios.
