COVID-19 Training for Healthcare Workers
COVID-19 is rapidly spreading across the globe and all providers must be prepared to recognize, stabilize and treat patients with novel coronavirus infection. Following completion of this short course physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals will have a unified, evidenced-based approach to saving the lives of patients with COVID-19, including those who are critically ill. Learning modules are broken into short videos presented in a richly illustrated and compelling manner. The course is self paced and providers can schedule their learning to fit with their schedules. Topics include symptoms and signs in patients with COVID-19, early stabilization of patients, preventing the need for intubation, and ventilator management.

MENTORSHIP - THE JAMES HAKIM LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
IPE Student Orientation Course
The course was developed as a partnership between AFREhealth and the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research ( FAIMER) a division of Intealth during the AFREhealth IPE virtual elective program. Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice (IPECP) has been shown to lead to enhanced quality of health care at patient, community, organizational, and personal levels (Barr & low, 2016). Despite the benefits of IPECP, Healthcare professionals in Africa have often been training in silos with minimal emphasis on IPECP (Byakika et al., 2015). This course aims to provide students with an overview of IPECP, understand the core competencies, and the importance of IPECP. The course will also provide you with a resource kit that you can use to practice and appreciate the IPECP skills.
