A two day PTC provider course was conducted at Memon Medical Institute (MMI), Karachi on 27th and 28th November 2010. MMI is a 332 bedded tertiary care upcoming hospital in the suburbs of Karachi city, approximately 5 km from Quid-e-Azam International Airport. It is strategically a potential site for trauma patients as two major highways travel on its two sides within a distance of 15 to 20 kms. A pre-course meeting was held with PTC Sindh faculty and it was decided that China experience will be used to improve the PTC provider course as three of the local faculty members were also part of the PTC China Faculty. It was also concluded that at least half of the instructors should be those who are not experienced as PTC instructors and they should run the course sessions under direct supervision by experienced PTC faculty.

The course was timely managed and smoothly continued for two days. The new faculty members appreciated the support from their senior colleagues.Participants’ end of course evaluation was although new for some faculty, however, was well managed by all. Participants showed significant improvement in their results from the pre-course evaluation.Feedback from the participants was generally good and large number showed interest in doing the Instructor course in future.Post-course Instructors’ discussion and feedback concluded that all future courses in our region should be conducted in the same manner with new instructors getting experience and end of course evaluation for participants.The Trustees and Directors of MMI visited the course and appreciated the efforts of PTC faculty.
