successfully introduced in Ghana. Multiple small group and lecture facilities, storage areas, and an office with Internet access for course reporting are available. During the visit, Dr. kortbeek and Dr. Al Turki stayed at the residential facility of the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons in Accra. It is approximately a 15-minute drive from the simulation center. The facilities exceeded the requirements for conducting ATLS courses. Oversight provided by the GCPS ensures that responsibility and commitment are clearly in place.
