Quebec doctors are providing virtual training for Ukrainian health-care workers

MONTREAL — A group of Quebec doctors are offering training on life-saving procedures to Ukrainians contending with the Russian invasion. 

McGill University in Montreal says the Steinberg Centre for Simulation and Interactive Learning is creating multimedia content to support urgent health-care needs in Ukraine.

A news release says trauma surgeon Dr. Dan Deckelbaum, who is the surgical and procedural skills director at McGill’s Steinberg Centre, recorded a series of video tutorials with co-workers after he was contacted by colleagues in Ukraine. 

The school says the videos were filmed in a simulated operating room and translated from English to Ukrainian.
