Every faculty member we train will teach dozens of physicians. Every physician will see thousands of patients. That is how respiratory medicine grows across Central Asia.
Inside a CARS workshop
Each workshop is a sequence of phases — from clinical work to a residents' symposium. Specific dates, locations, and topics are decided per workshop. A series of workshops makes up a course — the journey of one cohort of members.
Opening symposium
Programme update, presentation of workshop topics, review of existing modules.
Clinical week
Daily ward rounds and outpatient consultations at the host clinic. Case derivation for EPA modules, discussions with faculty.
Mountain retreat
Development of teaching modules based on the week's clinical cases. Peer review and refinement among participants.
Residents' symposium
Pre-test of residents' knowledge → training with the prepared modules → post-test to measure progress.
Regional outreach
Optional: a field workshop for physicians in a partner region. Topics and locations vary by workshop and local need.
