SCOMErgency, held on Thursday, January 23, 2025, at the Faculty of Medicine of Sfax, offered a unique opportunity. This wasn’t just a simple training; it was a chance to mobilize crucial first aid knowledge and, more importantly, learn how to remain calm and act without hesitation in emergency situations.
Beyond personal skill development, SCOMErgency provided participants with the opportunity to transmit what they learned to middle and high school students. This initiative was particularly relevant given the increasing prevalence of violence today, reinforcing the idea that we truly assimilate information by teaching it to others.
The event emphasized that “you forget what you don’t practice – first aid starts with action!” Participants were encouraged to embrace this philosophy, learning and then teaching vital first aid skills to others.
