Health-Professional Education Partnership Initiative (HEPI) - Kenya

项目总结 尽管卫生部门和捐助者给予了30年的关注，但肯尼亚仍然面临艾滋病毒的沉重负担。要实现 和维持艾滋病毒流行控制，我们建议培训一支由医生、护士和 药剂师设计、进行和传播可以很容易地从现场转移到政策中的研究 以及为艾滋病毒预防、护理和治疗提供信息的做法。医学、护理和药学学院 内罗毕大学，之前的MEPI奖项的获得者，提议与合作伙伴医疗、护理 乔莫·肯雅塔农业和技术大学、肯雅塔大学和制药学院，以及 马塞诺大学对本科生和研究生进行基于团队的研究方法培训， 包括实施科学化和质量改进。美国合作伙伴，华盛顿大学和斯坦福大学 大学，将在实施科学培训、跨专业教育和 性别平等。第一个目标是为优秀毕业生创建为期一年的高级研究培训证书。 医学、护理和药学专业的学生：在广泛的指导支持下，学生将接受高级 研究方法，并将在他们职业生涯早期的这个开创性时刻完成一个研究项目。这将是 允许大约200名未来的领导者完成他们在以下领域的医学、护理和药学研究生课程 研究方法和实施科学。我们的第二个目标是在 本科水平，3个学科的跨专业团队的学生在实地学习8周 教学医院制定和完成质量改进项目。选修课将介绍励志 学生比现行规范更早进行研究，并将传播先进的研究方法，进行辅导 经验，和团队科学到肯尼亚各地的教学设施，重点是农村的附属临床教员 区域。我们的第三个目标是在教学医院层面建立跨专业研讨会和短期课程， 不仅涉及临床教师，还包括县卫生官员、卫生部(MOH)人员和4名 学术机构，加强领导，护理质量和循证方法，同时创建 更密集的跨专业网络。在这次外展中确定的合格的卫生部和附属教师将 有机会完成为期一年的研究证书，进一步涉及实地教学地点 公共卫生问题的研究方法。通过将这种培训整合到本科生和研究生中 级别课程，该计划将是可持续的，并预计将继续；该奖项将允许所有4所机构 将研究纳入医学、护理和药学的本科生和研究生课程，并将 整合县卫生官员、卫生部和附属教学医院进行研究、质量改进和 执行科学，以结束肯尼亚的艾滋病毒。

PROJECT SUMMARY Kenya continues to face a high burden of HIV despite thirty years of health sector and donor attention. To achieve and sustain HIV epidemic control, we propose to train a multidisciplinary workforce of doctors, nurses and pharmacists to design, conduct and disseminate research that can be readily moved from the field into policy and practice to inform HIV prevention, care and treatment. The Schools of Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy at the University of Nairobi, recipient of prior MEPI awards, propose to collaborate with partner medical, nursing and pharmacy schools at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, Kenyatta University, and Maseno University to train both undergraduate and graduate students in team-based research methods, including implementation science and quality improvement. US partners, University of Washington and Stanford University, will contribute their expertise in implementation science training, interprofessional education and gender equality. The first aim will create a 1-year advanced research training certificate for talented graduate students in medicine, nursing, and pharmacy: students, with extensive mentoring support, will train in advanced research methods and will complete a research project at this seminal moment early in their careers. This will allow around 200 future leaders to finish their graduate medical, nursing and pharmacy studies experienced in research methods and implementation science. Our second aim will create a research elective at the undergraduate level for interprofessional teams of students in the 3 disciplines to spend 8 weeks in the field at a teaching hospital developing and completing a quality improvement project. The elective will introduce motivated students to research earlier than the current norm, and will disseminate advanced research methods, mentoring experiences, and team science to teaching facilities around Kenya, focusing on the affiliate clinical faculty in rural areas. Our third aim will institute interprofessional workshops and short courses at the teaching hospital level, involving not only clinical faculty but also county health officials, Ministry of Health (MOH) personnel, and the 4 academic institutions, strengthening leadership, quality of care, and evidence-based approaches while creating denser interprofessional networks. Qualified MOH and affiliate teaching faculty identified in this outreach will have the opportunity to complete the one-year research certificate, further involving field teaching sites in research approaches to public health problems. By integrating this training into both undergraduate and graduate level curricula, this program will be sustainable and expected to continue; this award will allow all 4 institutions to bring research into the undergraduate and graduate curricula for medicine, nursing and pharmacy, and will integrate county health officials, MOH, and affiliate teaching hospitals in research, quality improvement and implementation science to end HIV in Kenya.
