Improving
Practice Through New Skills
During the academic year 2002/2003, CGH
and its partners will offer a series of skill-based workshops
on various global health related topics. The emphasis will
be on "training how" rather than "teaching
what". The courses are intended for graduate students,
faculty as well as health and humanitarian practitioners working
locally and abroad. While some of the modules will be geared
towards a broad audience, others will be custom-designed to
meet the needs of specific groups.
Like all CGH training programs these workshops
are developed in close collaboration with our various academic,
community-based and international partners. In the future
NYU partner-schools may choose to offer series of courses
as part of existing degree and diploma programs.
Topics will include:
Bio-terrorism and Urban Disasters
Disaster Preparedness and Response: Strengthening
our Public Health Infrastructure
Global Health: Redefining Health in the
Era of Globalization
Complex Humanitarian Emergencies
Learning from Diverse Health Systems
Reducing Barriers and Improving Delivery
in Diverse Healthcare Settings
CGH and its partners will also offer
a series of "How to" workshops:
Gathering, evaluating & use information,
health data & statistics
Developing strategic health program plans
Managing interdisciplinary teams
Designing sustainable health programs
Measuring success: monitoring and evaluation
Using information technology to improve
programs and processes
Managing organizational change
Budgeting and managing fiscal resources
Developing and writing grants and project
proposals
Developing and manage human resources
Applying the principles of epidemiology
& bio statistics
More detailed information including times
and dates will be posted on this website as it becomes available.
