Abstract:
This retrospective study, conducted in 26 African countries where French is the first or second language, identified the postsecondary educational institutions teaching disaster medicine. This subject is taught in various institutions in 7 of the 26 countries (27%), including 3 of 47 colleges, 1 of 6 institutes, 1 military health and medical sciences school, and in civil defense agencies in 2 countries. Teaching disaster medicine is often confined to military physicians. This subject must be recognized as a subject in its own right and must be integrated into the medical school curriculum for doctors in French-speaking Africa.
