- Resource-limited settings often struggle to provide essential education for safe surgical practices, highlighting the need for improved access to curricula, particularly in transfusion medicine.
- The Transfusion Camp curriculum was developed through a partnership between Rwanda and Canada, involving experts who created a course that combined online content with in-person seminars, tailored to local needs.
- Evaluation of the pilot course showed positive reception among trainees, although a preference for in-person learning was noted, suggesting future courses should focus on ongoing education for practicing physicians.
