It was conducted by certified instructors of the course — associate professor Tetyana Khimenko, assistant Anastasia Pirogova, as well as our active group members — 4th-year students of the medical faculty Maria Velikova, Elizaveta Morgunova, and Alina Overchuk were involved as instructor assistants. The participants of the training showed high interest and motivation while practicing the skills of wound tamponade , applying a pressure bandage and a tourniquet. After the theoretical and practical part, team work on situational tasks was carried out to consolidate the material. All participants completed the training program in full and received an international certificate.
