Special Olympics Bharat trains medical professionals
New Delhi, Nov 18
A Train the Trainer (TTT) session was conducted by the Special Olympics Bharat on November 16 and 17 in the national capital as part of its Healthy Athletes program. The sessions were held across five disciplines of Fit Feet, Healthy Hearing, Health Promotion, Opening Eyes and Special Smiles.
About 10 people in each of the five disciplines from the medical fraternity were trained as Clinical Directors in a specific discipline. The seminar consisted of a one day didactic program and an on site screening program. The program was supported by youth volunteers and "Athlete Leaders" of Special Olympics Bharat (who trained as Health Messengers).
A Clinical Director (CD) is an individual who volunteers to lead a Special Olympics Healthy Athletes program in a particular discipline. Minimum of a three year commitment to serve as a volunteer Clinical Director is mandatory before confirmation of training opportunity.
Special Olympics Bharat is a National Sports Federation recognized by the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Government of India and the accredited program of the Special Olympics International, USA.
