Gulf Medical University’s Journal Club series featured a presentation by one of its own faculty from the College of Pharmacy on the use of corticosteroids in severe community-acquired pneumonia. Dr. Ahmad El Ouweini, Clinical Lecturer, GMU College of Pharmacy and Critical Care Clinical Pharmacist, Preceptor at Thumbay University Hospital, highlighted on the CAPE-COD Trial, which evaluated the efficacy of hydrocortisone IV infusion in critically ill patients admitted with severe community acquired pneumonia. The presentation sparked a lively discussion among attendees, with many expressing interest in further research on the topic and potential collaborations. The Journal Club series is known for providing a valuable platform for colleagues to share their research interests and advance their knowledge, and Dr. El Ouweini’s presentation was no exception. The Gulf Medical University community looks forward to continued engagement and learning through this ongoing series.
