The Russo-Ukrainian War is an ongoing international conflict between Russia and Ukraine. At times such as these, medical training is essential and sometimes required of laypersons. International Medical Corps partnered with the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative (HHI) to provide comprehensive emergency and trauma care training to healthcare workers, public safety professionals and the Ukrainian community. Course Coordinator Kevin Collopy and Instructor Brock Jenkins, live from AMTC23, join us for an eye-opening podcast episode where we discuss their role in this mission and the personal experiences motivating them to continue their efforts.
