The American Heart Association (AHA) conducted an orientation workshop to certify senior & experienced instructors to take up positions of International Regional Faculty for Asia Pacific region. 12 senior AHA lifesupport instructors underwent the orientation program which was conducted on 13th July 2011, at Max Hospitals, Saket, New Delhi.
The AHA trains healthcare providers, caregivers and general public, in responding to emergencies through their Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) training programs. Bobby Wales, an International Training Consultant for ECC Programs, said that Regional Faculty (RF) were not only important for the spread resuscitation education through conduct of Provider, Instructor & Update courses, but also to ensure that the quality of AHA courses conducted by various centers is maintained. This was done by monitoring / auditing the AHA certified training centers & their instructors at regular intervals. Laurence King, Territory Director for ECC International Programs-Asia Pacific, who was also one of the faculty, encouraged the spread of resuscitation training through partnership with Indian institutes. He said that the RF served as a feedback mechanism to report local issues directly to AHA. He also strongly encouraged research in resuscitation due to the unique population demographics in India.
