ABG Workshop Sees Overwhelming Response at BCMCH



📍 Thiruvalla, March 14, 2025

The Interactive ABG Workshop – Case-Based Learning at Believers Church Medical College Hospital (BCMCH) was a resounding success, attracting 78 enthusiastic participants from across Kerala, spanning from Trivandrum to Calicut.

High-Impact Learning with Expert-Led Discussions

The workshop was led by Dr. E.T. Arun Thomas and Dr. Geo Philip John, both of whom brought immense expertise and clinical insight into the complexities of Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) interpretation. Instead of a purely theoretical approach, the session was structured around real-life case discussions, making ABG analysis both practical and approachable.

Unprecedented Participation Despite a Busy Weekday

🔹 Doctors and healthcare professionals from diverse specialties, including Nephrology, Internal Medicine, Critical Care, and Emergency Medicine, made time to attend this highly sought-after session.
🔹 The fact that professionals traveled from different parts of Kerala despite their hectic schedules highlights the growing demand for high-quality, hands-on training in this critical area of medical practice.
🔹 The three-hour interactive session was packed with engaging discussions, clinical case evaluations, and practical problem-solving, equipping participants with valuable skills for patient management.

Why This Workshop Matters

✔ ABG interpretation is a vital skill for clinicians managing critically ill patients.
✔ Practical case-based learning enhances understanding and clinical application.
✔ Workshops like these bridge the gap between theory and real-world medical practice.

The overwhelming response to this event reflects BCMCH’s commitment to medical education, continuous learning, and excellence in patient care.

👏 Kudos to the organizing team, faculty, and all participants for making this workshop a phenomenal success!
