Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Minimally invasive tissue sampling (MITS) training programs were established in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to improve global cause of death determination. This initiative successfully trained trainers who then educated over 50 project staff in MITS sample collection.

Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Global Health
  • Medical Training

Background:

  • Minimally invasive tissue sampling (MITS) offers a viable alternative to complete diagnostic autopsies for determining cause of death, particularly in resource-limited settings.
  • The MITS Surveillance Alliance aims to expand MITS globally by enhancing training, accessibility, and availability in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop criteria for an optimal MITS training hub location.
  • To establish a network of LMIC-based trainers and refine standardized MITS protocols.
  • To create and implement a telepathology platform for quality assessment of MITS samples.

Main Methods:

  • A multidisciplinary team developed criteria for a MITS training hub and identified an optimal location.
  • A training program was developed, including a 'training of the trainers' approach.
  • A telepathology platform was released for histological sample quality assessment.

Main Results:

  • A MITS training hub and curriculum were established.
  • 9 trainers were educated, who subsequently trained 15 participants from 6 LMICs.
  • These 15 participants trained over 50 additional project staff in MITS sample collection.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized MITS procedures benefit from an iterative development process.
  • Stakeholder feedback is crucial for refining MITS protocols and training.
  • Ongoing technical assistance is vital to complement in-person MITS training.
