Join us for the AFREhealth Webinar hosted by ScholarRx
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.
