Title: Creating Shared Health Professions Education for Africa
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.
We cordially invite you to join the AFREhealth/CUGH webinar that will showcase the Capacity Strengthening Platform by AFREhealth and CUGH. This innovative platform is tailored to enhance the capacity for health workforce training, playing a pivotal role in our collaborative endeavors to enhance global health outcomes.
