Season’s
Greetings.
We are finally
at the close of a tough year, Kudos to all for their efforts in coping with a
roller coaster year. It was a year where we had to dig deep and look inwards
so that we can propel ourselves forward with a greater drive in 2021 and
achieve new heights in excellence.
December has
already bought optimism back to people with vaccines being dispatched to
regions across the world. At CIME, amongst everything, we had our team push
for international certification in simulation and are pleased to inform that
two from our technical team, Mr Naveed Muhammad and Mr Talha Ahmed Khan, have
been certified by SSH as Certified Healthcare Simulation Operation Specialist
(CHSOS). Beside them, two of our CIME Champions, Dr Faisal Ismail and Zohra
Kurji, have also been certified by SSH as Certified Healthcare Simulation
Educator (CHSE). They now join a very small group of simulation specialist
from all across the world, and we are delighted by their achievement and hope
that they keep making significant contribution towards furthering the
Excellence of Healthcare simulation at AKU. We would also like to acknowledge
Mr Burhan Ali, Simulation Analyst, for being awarded “Simulation Advocacy
Award” by SSH for his contributions towards promoting healthcare simulation
not only at AKU but at conferences that he has been a part of.
We would also
like to welcome Ms Rahina Inayat, an alumnus of AKU, to our CIME family as
Simulation Education Analyst. Rahina, who served as a TNI at AKUH and later a
RN in Cardiac-ICU, and brings her clinical experience and knowledge to the
team.
As 2020, comes
to an end, we are happy to sign off on a high note and optimism for 2021. We
hope that we will be able to take the learnings of 2020 and challenge
ourselves to achieve more in 2021.
From the entire
CIME family, we wish you a Happy New year.
Professor

Nairobi University
Centre: A new home to CIME
A while back we
were pleased to share the news for expansion of CIME within the global AKU
umbrella, with two planned centres in East Africa, Kenya and Uganda. Since
then construction has progressed into final stages at the new University
Centre in Nairobi, Kenya. Our team’s recent visit to Nairobi, allowed them
the opportunity to walk the floor of the new centre, which bought forth
exciting vibes as they saw the scale of the new centre in actuality and the
opportunities it can bring to the improvement of care in the region.

Clinical Simulation
Educators Programme – Online
Due to COVID
restriction, it became difficult to offer CIME’s Clinical Simulation
Educators Programme on-site, thus with careful reorganisation, an adapted
version of the programme was offered online. This 8-week online Clinical
Simulation Educators Programme was offered from 26th October to 18th
December, used both synchronous and asynchronous teaching strategies, using
virtual learning environment (VLE) and zoom for its seminar discussions and
resource sessions respectively.

Simulation prepares
our dental hygiene students for medical emergencies
A medical
emergency workshop was arranged for the Aga Khan University’s dental hygiene
students to improve their skills and knowledge so that they can successfully
manage medical emergencies in the dental clinics. Students were given
scenarios requiring them to assess the emergency and implement appropriate
life-saving protocols in simulated "real-life" situations using
high-fidelity simulators.

CIME in African
Conference!
In the 5th
African Conference on Emergency Medicine held in November 2020, CIME was
given an opportunity to showcase their work and the impact it makes to help
doctors and nurses manage medical emergencies through the use of
simulation-based education. The conference was attended virtually by a
diverse group of audience from across Africa and other regions of the world.
CIME also took this opportunity to create awareness for the upcoming
simulation centre at AKU, Nairobi in 2021.

FamMed Essentials
Course
The Department
of Family Medicine started a one-year blended learning course, FamMed
Essentials, for general practitioners in order to empower them and improve
their knowledge and skills through competency-based continuing medical
education. A major part of the course is designed to be accessible online and
the flexible construct ensures that busy practitioners can avail course
content at their convenience and ease. Another important aspect of the course
is face-to-face five-days simulation-based session which was conducted (for
the first two cohorts) in collaboration with the CIME team from 23-27
November 2020.
