New e-learning course on TB in NL
On Tuesday the 31st of August a kickoff training was held to
introduce a special e-learning course to healthcare workers working in the
field of TB.
In 2010 Health[e]Foundation
started a collaboration with the Netherlands
School of Public &
Occupational Health (NSPOH), Academic Medical Centre of Amsterdam (AMC), the
Coronel Institute, and the KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation for the development of
an e-learning course about TB and Occupational Health.
The
e-learning course consists of two modules from Health[e]Foundation’s
TB[e]Education course, a country specific Epidemiology module written by the
KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation, and a special module about TB and Occupation
Health written by KIZA (knowledge centre for infectious diseases and
occupational health).
The new
e-learning course is part of the project to develop new teaching methods by the
‘academische opleidings-werkplaats (Academic Learning and Working
Environment)’, AOWP. AOWP is a joint
initiative of the Netherlands
School of Public &
Occupational Health (NSPOH) and the Academic Medical Centre of Amsterdam (AMC).
The aim is to guarantee the academic level of the NSPOH trainings.
Dr. Martien
Borgdorff, a co-author of the global TB epidemiology module, provided an
excellent and clear presentation during the kickoff about the TB situation both globally and in
the Netherlands.
After the 3
month self-study period, participants will gather again for the closing
workshop in December, when this pilot will be evaluated.
