The Russian invasion of Ukraine has resulted in hundreds of non-combatant casualties of the Ukrainian people. This new reality has impacted each Ukrainian; ballerinas, chefs, and singers have become tactical medical providers overnight. This resilience of the Ukrainian people has allowed a multi-organizational approach to this ongoing humanitarian crisis. With volunteer educators teaching through incredibly capable local translators, our teams were able to provide education from Stop the Bleed, CBRNE, and Advanced Trauma Life Support in numerous environments throughout Ukraine. This presentation highlights the resiliency of the Ukrainian people, what has been done, where we currently stand, and where we must go from here.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the current humanitarian crisis in Ukraine and the resilience of the Ukrainian people
Describe how the utilization of trauma education from emergency clinicians and air medical providers can be utilized to reduce preventable deaths during humanitarian crisis.
Describe the humanitarian work that has been done in Ukraine, how it applies to us as air medical clinicians, and where we go from here.
