Don't need to. They get clinical training as part of their studies and right now its treatment that's the issue. If you know how to work the ventilators, know how to intubate, know how to work a bunch of the machines for a lot of the treatment, know how to take blood samples, run blood tests, direct treatment (ie, know whats normal levels, what needs to be treated), ect... You're useful.
If you really need to know... An example: The lab studies atrial fibrillation treatment options, specifically cryogenic ablation or other ablation techniques. Right now the lab's Post-docs and phD candidates are running blood oxygen level tests and oxygen monitoring machines. They're making calls to intubate or not a patient, using ventilators halfway 3d printed and made by the undergrad and masters students of the lab.
It is this desperate. Overseen by doctors and nurses, ofc.

yeah that's a very desperate healthcare situation...
The anglo media certainly is keeping a tight lid on this information, but are there sources you can recommend for the impending health collapse?
So, the "phd students working in the hospitals" isn't something that's been reported (at least, not yet, and probably won't be), here's an article regarding the collapse:
As for the ventilators, again, I don't know if there's straight up media reporting but here's a much older announcement of Medtronic open-source ventilator.
One of the lines is "Yan Wang, Georgia Tech associate professor of computer-aided engineering and design. His students are studying the Medtronic files and open-source designs in order to create a ventilator that is easy to produce and use."
Yea its not just his lab that looked at the Medtronic files.
QE forever, US seems to go the Japan route?
Thats quite a slowdown. It seems that the whole world is getting downgraded GDP growth forecasts.
With US and China slowing down, the rest of the world will soon follow
Merely 2.3% GDP growth after printing 20 trillion USD (100% GDP) as of last year alone.
