Design, implementation and long-term follow-up of a context specific trauma training course in Uganda: Lessons learned and future directions.

Background: The Kampala Advanced Trauma Course (KATC) was developed in 2007 due to a locally identified need for an advanced trauma training curriculum for the resource-constrained setting. We describe the design, implementation and evaluation of the course.

Methods: The course has been delivered to over 1,000 interns rotating through surgery at Mulago National Referral Hospital.
