The workshop will capacitate researchers and academicians with best practices, methodologies, and technology-powered tools to produce high-quality academic and grant-based manuscripts. This is part of AFREhealth’s efforts to support and increase publication output from its members

Introduction
Medical education often occurs in silos with minimum collaboration among schools. This duplication of effort can be wasteful, particularly during a global pandemic. We will discuss the development of a novel shared medical curriculum exchange platform that can empower a global community of educators to democratize access to quality education even in limited-resource countries, promote interprofessional education, and help address the international shortage of healthcare workers.

We will describe our early experiences in developing a shared educational community of practice at the University of Global Health Equity in Rwanda and how this may inform future directions in scaling shared, open-access education in Africa.
