​Empowering the Frontlines: Reflections on the "Compassion in Crisis" Trauma Workshop

Empowering the Frontlines: Reflections on the "Compassion in Crisis" Trauma Workshop

I had the privilege of serving as the designer and faculty for a high-intensity, one-day Trauma Emergency Workshop at Malabar Medical College (MMC), Ulliyeri.

Simulation-based training is the heartbeat of modern trauma care. We hosted 44 enthusiastic RNs and paramedics from across Kerala (Calicut, Vatakara, Palakkad, Malappuram) and Coimbatore for a deep dive into 10 life-saving skills—ranging from Tube Thoracostomy and Hemorrhage Control to SBAR Communication.

Highlights of the Day:

• Hands-on Mastery: Intensive stations in the MMC Simulation Lab.

• Expert Mentorship: Collaborating with a veteran faculty team (10+ years exp) including Dr. Sudha Anil, Dr. Sajith Kumar, Dr. Firoz, and Dr. Shafin , Soumya , Bibin , Soniya , Varun and other nursing educators. 

• Quality Assurance: Validated through 360-degree feedback and pre/post-testing.

A special thanks to the MMC Chairman Mr. Anil Kumar and Principal Dr. P.V. Narayanan for their leadership. This program was a testament to the synergy between the MMC Nursing College and Nursing Department, led by coordinators Ms. Leelamma, Jorly,Soniya, and Varun.

A heartfelt shoutout to Dr. Sudha Anil (MD, MMC)—the true "live wire" whose unwavering support made this vision a reality.
