Due to the efforts of IPLS instructors and faculty in Iraq and Australia, IPLS is now firmly established as a regular part of training in both places. In Iraq, several IPLS centres provide the course regularly, and in Australia it has become part of regular teaching for medical students in Adelaide. Around 2000 medical students have so far been trained, in addition to many doctors and nurses. At Baghdad Medical College, the course is run every week, providing this essential training to the increasing number of medical students. In the near future, we hope that IPLS will be provided as part of the Iraqi Board for Medical Specialization. This is amazing work, congratulations to everybody involved.
