The Addis Ababa toxicology curriculum project: educational needs assessment for the toxicology modules of an emergency medicine training program.

Background: The Toronto Addis Ababa Academic Collaboration in Emergency Medicine (TAAAC-EM) is a bi-institutional partnership between the University of Toronto (UofT) and Addis Ababa University (AAU) focused on addressing the need for emergency medicine (EM) postgraduate training and care in Ethiopia. Toxicology is a key competency in EM. EM physicians are often the first and sole clinicians to identify and treat patients presenting with a wide range of intoxications.

Establishing a Self-sustaining Emergency Medicine Point-of-Care Ultrasound Curriculum in an Academic Teaching Hospital in Ethiopia.

Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training has become a standard component of Canadian emergency medicine (EM) residency programs. In resource-limited contexts, including Ethiopia, there is a critical shortage of local clinicians who can perform and teach POCUS. Our aim was to establish an introductory POCUS rotation within the EM residency program at Addis Ababa University (AAU) through The Toronto Addis Ababa Academic Collaboration in Emergency Medicine (TAAAC-EM).

Maintaining a global health partnership during the COVID-19 pandemic: a road map from the Toronto Addis Ababa Academic Collaboration in Emergency Medicine.

The Toronto Addis Ababa Academic Collaboration in Emergency Medicine (TAAAC-EM) is an educational global health partnership established 10 years ago to support the growth of EM in Ethiopia. In-person global health partnership activities were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We describe our five-step process for transitioning our global health partnership to a virtual space.
