Abstract

Trauma remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, particularly among young adults. Often, the initial response to a traumatic injury determines the patient’s prognosis. This paper reviews the literature regarding the effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programmes (STPs) in enhancing knowledge and practical skills related to trauma care among college students. Through a systematic evaluation of various pedagogical approaches, this review highlights the transition from theoretical understanding to clinical competency. The findings suggest that STPs—utilizing simulation-based learning and modular curricula—significantly improve the proficiency of non-medical college students in providing “first-hour” emergency care.
