Building Resilience in Trauma Care at a Sub-Saharan African Tertiary Center: A Longitudinal Assessment of Multidisciplinary Trauma and Disaster Team Response Training Impact
The TDTR course was associated with sustained improvements in self-assessed trauma care confidence and perceived enhancements in clinical outcomes over 2 years. These findings underscore the value of ongoing, team-based training in resource-limited settings. However, regular refresher courses and future studies using objective performance measures are essential to confirm and quantify the long-term clinical impact.
