Uganda's Emergency Medical Services (EMS) face a critical human resource gap. Despite a national mandate to scale up emergency care, the country struggles with a severe deficit of Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), unstructured clinical tutorship, training frameworks and thus lack of specialized EM trainers in the country. Despite recent strides by the Ministry of Health (MoH) and partners to develop a national EMT curriculum, the pre-hospital care workforce remains vastly underdeveloped
1. Five tutors will be identified by November 1, 2026 for additional training in health professions education. 2. With partially subsidized tuition fees, five tutors will enroll in the nine-month Health Tutor College training course in 2027. Specific timing of matriculation will depend upon timing of course offerings by the host training institution.
Training EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) tutors in Uganda has a profound, cascading impact. By building a sustainable cadre of local educators, the country directly addresses its critical deficit of frontline emergency responders and standardizes prehospital care, significantly reducing preventable deaths from trauma, road crashes, and sudden medical emergencies
