Gambian ENT teaching course 2017
September 2017 Cohort 11 - Edward Francis Small hospital, The Gambia. School of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences.
In September 2017 we delivered the first Swansea University led Gambian ENT course. We delivered the whole course with an examination over an intense eight-day period.
​
The students were sent materials ahead of the trip and had access to this website content throughout the course All 22 of the students passed their examination and practical assessments and showed great enthusiasm throughout.
Examination practice
​
Throughout the week each student had plenty of time to practice the newly learned examination skills under the guidance of the tutors.
Teaching methods
During the week we used a variety of teaching methods including traditional lecture-based sessions, group work and quizzes, making the most of the teaching environment to deliver an interactive course.
Peer to peer learning in action
The students enjoyed working in groups to work through problems.
With no access to direct laryngoscopy, the technique to using laryngeal mirrors to perform indirect laryngeal visualisation was taught to the cohort.
Peer to peer learning in action
Special thanks to all the staff and students at The University of the Gambia and Swansea University that helped make this course a success. We hope this is the first of many such courses.
