Abstract
Project activities can be divided into three main components: 1) training of postgraduate emergency medicine (EM) trainees at Black Lion Hospital during four annual month-long teaching trips by UT faculty and trainees 2) development of an operational research program, consisting of three prospective cohort studies launched at AAU (October 2012), intended to build capacity among AAU faculty and trainees to design and execute research studies, and 3) development of an online, open-access knowledge-sharing platform through which educational materials developed for TAAAC-EM are peer-reviewed and made accessible to other EM training programs in low-resource countries. The report reviews this successful programme.
