It is a student organisation with the main aim of creating a dynamic and empowering platform for students by students, with a focus on fostering a community that emphasises hands-on experiences and practical skills for students.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Q: Who is it open to?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">L: It is particularly targeted to General medicine students, 3rd year and above.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Q: Where do the sessions take place?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">L: Sessions take place at the Mediskills lab on the fourth floor of the main building of the Medical faculty.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Q: What is the programme structure like?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">L: There are 2 groups from which you can choose to sign up: Group A and Group B. They only differ by their time schedules. Group A sessions are on odd weeks and Group B sessions are on even weeks.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">The program typically begins with a brief introduction to the week\u2019s subject, delivered by a doctor. Subsequently, the majority of the sessions are dedicated to skill practice or participation in simulations. Finally, each session is concluded with a Kahoot quiz, allowing students to test their understanding of the theoretical concepts covered.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Q: What kind of material will be covered?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">L: Our main curriculum typically includes: cannulation, airway management, ABCDE examination and Advanced Life Support (ALS). This year we added a new Basic Trauma care session! We also have a round course at the end of the the semester to recap all the skills learned throughout.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Q: And what&#8217;s the timetable like? <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check the colour-coded timetable below.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aulaconversations.files.wordpress.com\/2024\/02\/emerg.png?w=724\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-380\" style=\"width:471px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Q: Will there be an exam or testing session at the end?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">L: As previously stated, each session is concluded with a Kahoot quiz and at the end of the semester, those with the highest accumulated points receive a special surprise.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Q: Can students request a certificate of participation after competing the semester\u2019s session?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">L: Absolutely. Students who meet the criteria (attendance within specified limits) are eligible to receive a certificate of participation upon completion of the semester\u2019s sessions.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Q: Any plans for the semester?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">L: This semester, keep an eye out on potential additional workshops with other societies.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Q: Any other events hosted by the PTE Surgical Society that students can expect during the year?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">L: Throughout the academic year, the Emergency society hosts various student-centered events. In the fall semester, we assist in organising <\/mark><a href=\"https:\/\/aok.pte.hu\/en\/hirek\/hir\/15279\">Catastrophe Day<\/a><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">, an educational event focused on emergency preparedness. <\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Additionally, every semester includes an ultrasound course in collaboration with the radiology department. This course teaches students how to use ultrasound machines effectively, particularly in emergency situations. Participants engage in hands-on practice sessions focusing on critical techniques such as the Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) ultrasound, enhancing their proficiency in emergency diagnostics and care.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it, dear readers. Students organise some of the best motives we have here at PTE and this is just another one of them. I personally attended a semester&#8217;s sessions in 2021 and had a great time learning with many familiar faces. While I have not yet had the opportunity to perform any of my skills in a real-life situation, the information I learned with the Emergency Society was particularly helpful when I had Anaesthesia and Intensive care and Paediatrics 2, both in the 10th semester. Spots are limited and offered on a first come, first serve basis here, so take the plunge and immerse yourself in this experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to register, click the link <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScaKoqvZ1pu6MKJBNOja6rTrKA2vJ9HfcqOcy_GzmEKNaR2vw\/viewform\">here<\/a> and sign up.
