Summary

This study looked at whether a special training course helps medical students in Libya learn about disaster medicine. 166 students were split into two groups: one took the course, the other did not. The course covered first aid, safety, and how to respond in emergencies. Researchers measured their knowledge and skills before and after training to see if the course made a difference.
