Rural First Aid Training from Our Department of Emergency Medicine

 

Assist. Prof. Dr. İsa Gökhan Yalçın, a faculty member of the Department of Emergency Medicine of Our Faculty, provided first aid training to students, teachers, and parents in the KÖYFEST-SDÜ project carried out under the TÜBİTAK 4009 Support Program for Village Schools.
In the training sessions held at Şehit Hüseyin Avni Korkmaz Primary School and Kılıç Middle School in the Keçiborlu district of Isparta, basic life-saving interventions, particularly the Heimlich maneuver and first aid in rural areas, were covered. The aim was to increase participants' knowledge and awareness of correct and timely intervention in emergencies. Within the scope of the project, which brings science to children in village schools, in addition to first aid training sessions, sky observations and solar observations with telescopes, hands-on science activities with microscopes, and healthy living and nutrition awareness activities were also carried out.
We thank our faculty member who contributed to spreading first aid awareness in society, the school administrations that hosted the events, the teachers, and all stakeholders.
