The Certification Program in Emergency Medicine (CPEM) is a 12-month competency-based training which aims to equip physicians working in emergency departments (EDs) with fundamental knowledge and clinical expertise in the care of patients who are severely ill or injured. It was developed by Emergency Medicine (EM) specialists from The Indus Hospital & Health Network (IHHN), Karachi and Brigham and Women’s Hospital – a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School Boston, USA – and launched in July 2018. It is now led by a diverse multinational faculty from the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia and IHHN.
First of its kind capacity building for middle tier physicians working in the Emergency Departments across Pakistan.
By the end of 1 year of the certification program learners would be able to;
Participate in journal clubs and morbidity & mortality meetings to stay up to date in latest advancements in Emergency Medicine.

Full Code
Full-code is a game-based clinical simulation application that is available on cellphone/tablet and PC platform. It provides an immersive virtual emergency room environment for participants to take part in clinical simulation remotely. The participants get to manage the avatar based patient for a wide spectrum of common clinical problems that present to the emergency department, including both, pediatric and adult patient scenarios.
A group based debrief and discussion is done by the faculty taking into account the local factors & variations due to socioeconomic and geopolitical differences. This has been one of the most popular components for participants in previous cohorts, as it helps to identify the gaps in knowledge and boosts confidence in the participants. At the same time, being online, it helps reduce the cost of travel, and logistics that a learner would have to bear for attending a simulation session in-person.
Affinity
A simulated, web-based environment where learners have the opportunity to practice the application of their medical knowledge and decision-making. It is an interactive teaching and learning tool that uses images, video and audio recordings to simulate real-world experiences. Through self-evaluation, learners have the ability to evaluate their knowledge using inquiries with real-time feedback. Scoring can also be used to evaluate the performance of each individual learner as well as group of learners which is later shared with them as part of their continuous evaluation.
