When did this course first begin?
This new multidisciplinary course teaches the management of patients presenting with emergency abdominal conditions to acute hospital. The inaugural EASC was held at the Donegal Clinical Research Academy, Ireland in May 2012. The initial premise for this course was to focus on decision making in patients with common emergencies in a multidisciplinary learning approach.
Course Strategy
Designed by Donegal Clinical Research Academy, this course in conjunction with World Leaders in Emergency Surgery developed a strategy based upon probability, decision making and surgical technique. In short, the curriculum deals with common surgical abdominal emergencies. EASC instructs the clinician on how to identify the diagnosis, outline a clear management plan, and be aware of tips and traps for each condition. This practical approach is supplemented by the latest International medical literature.
