The College is running an ACLS course at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center (KCMC). Aebhric O'Kelly is monitoring the course and is concurrently running an ACLS instructor course. It is important when setting up a training system to also set up the ability for self sustainment.

Disease and Non-Battle Injuries (DNBI) are often neglected. Everyone loves a #trauma course. But how many of you are top-notch at finding your #malaria patient? How many of you are excellent at primary care?

Be a Better Medic. Learn this.

One of our faculty, Aebhric O'Kelly, created this mnemonic for a quick reference and reminder to downgrade a tourniquet. This is a lesson greatly needed in current conflicts.
