Essential Burn Management (EBM) is a burn training program created for East Africa and aims to meet the needs of low- and middle-income countries. The authors present a report on objective testing of change in knowledge, with pre and post tests, and comparison of this testing with the self perception of knowledge gained to explore course utility.
