Session abstract | Medical professionals in the region are taking on a more active role in the design and delivery of medical education. In the ECSA region alone, health professionals have formed colleges and designed curricula with the aim of delivering medical education through a collegiate system. With the rapid changes taking place, it is imperative that quality assurance matters are considered and the role of these new models in general quality improvement duly examined. In this session, we question what the role of governments should be in the light of rapid changes in the delivery of medical education. We also examine how innovations are improving and contributing to changing trends in the delivery of medical education.
There is an increasingly recognized need for sustainable capacity for implementation research to identify and address bottlenecks that impede effective implementation of effective interventions. Opportunities to acquire the requisite skills may be limited in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) where there is the greatest need for strengthening research capacity. In collaboration with partners in the diseaseendemic countries, TDR has developed a set of training tools to strengthen the skills and research capacity of individuals and institutions in LMICs, particularly capacity WS 8: Medical Education, Training tools for implementation researchWorld Health Summit Regional Meeting | Africa Kampala, Uganda | June 28–30, 2021 | 99 for implementation research. The tools target a wide range of health professionals including researchers, health care providers, policy makers and academics. Workshop participants will become familiar with the range of training tools available in diverse formats and languages: A Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on implementation research on infectious diseases of poverty; a course on the basic principles of implementation research; the TDR online implementation research toolkit, and a training course on the ethics of implementation research. This workshop will promote the uptake of these tools to equip researchers with skills to identify and address health system barriers through implementation research. The training tools also cover skills for communication, advocacy and uptake of research findings into policy. While the training tools focus on implementation research on infectious diseases of poverty, they are applicable to implementation research on a wider range of health problems. In addition to increasing awareness of the range of training tools, this workshop will provide an opportunity for feedback to inform review and development of updated versions. |
