A simulation-based workshop on hypertension was held at CIME. 18 general practitioners from across Pakistan participated in this workshop. There were four stations: Abnormal Heart Sound; Fundoscopy examination; Counselling and referral of high risk hypertension patient; and a Basic Life Support refresher (not everyone has the luxury of the QCPR equipment at CIME meaning practitioners cannot attest to being competent by global standards).
Our faculty from the Section of Cardiology, Department of Medicine taught various skills within these stations. Learners were in small groups allowing hands-on practice, brushing up on their clinical skills. We really appreciate one of the original CIME Champions, Dr Aamir Hameed Khan, Associate Professor and Service Line Chief, Section of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, for leading this workshop. There is further demand for updates on the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension and this workshop will be repeated in January 2022.
