Medical Education for Services to All Ugandans (MESAU)

描述（由申请人提供）：在非洲，艾滋病毒、传染病和其他严重的健康问题，加上卫生工作人员严重短缺，影响了有效的卫生保健服务。为了在非洲培训必要数量的医生，医学院需要培养更多的高质量医生。该提案与JHU组建了一个5乌干达医学院联盟，以促进医学教育，研究和环境方面的能力建设和绩效提升，以改善服务提供。为这项提议提供资金将有助于乌干达各大学加强全国范围的南南机构合作，以此作为提高医学教育质量的一项战略，增加该国，特别是农村地区培训和留用的卫生工作者人数。这笔资金将加强乌干达医学院联盟的能力，以实现其联合使命，“确保建立在强大的可持续系统基础上的变革性创新医学教育，以培养更多始终如一的高质量卫生工作者，通过服务和研究来解决艾滋病毒/艾滋病等卫生优先事项，以改善乌干达的卫生成果。“该提案的具体目标是通过制定以学习者为中心的课程，在地理上覆盖全国的标准化社区教育、服务和研究平台上实施，提高医学教育和服务培训的质量和相关性。训练有素的现场主管将教授在资源有限的环境中提供与当地有关的服务所需的能力。接下来，将向教师和学生提供激励和支持，以在社区为基础的网站进行跨学科研究。将提供一系列赠款，使学生有机会在社区开展业务研究，增加基础科学和家庭医学高级学位的管道，并通过研究赠款与JHU教师的“结对”机会鼓励教师发展和保留。最后，将强调支持系统的能力建设，以促进有效开展教育和研究。 公共卫生相关性：通过创新课程改进资源有限环境下的医学教育，将培养更多的高质量保健工作者，有能力处理乌干达的保健优先事项，如艾滋病毒/艾滋病和心血管疾病和癌症等非传染性疾病

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In Africa, HIV, infectious diseases and other severe health problems compounded by critical shortages of health workforce compromise effective health care delivery. In order to train the necessary number of medical doctors in Africa, medical schools need to produce more high quality doctors. This proposal assembles a 5 Ugandan medical school consortium with JHU to catalyze capacity building and performance enhancements in medical education, research, and environment geared towards improved service delivery. Funding this proposal will facilitate Ugandan universities to strengthen countrywide south-south institutional collaboration as a strategy to enhance quality in medical education with an increase in the number of health workers trained and retained in the country, especially in rural areas. This funding will strengthen the capacity of the Ugandan medical schools consortium to realize their joint mission "to ensure the transformative innovative medical education built on strong sustainable systems to produce more health workers of consistently high quality to address health priorities like HIV/AIDS through service and research to improve health outcomes for Uganda." The specific aims of the proposal are to improve the quality and relevance of medical education and service training by developing learner-centered curricula to be implemented at standardized community-based platforms for education, service, and research which geographically cover the entire country. Well-trained on-site supervisors will teach competencies necessary to deliver locally relevant services in resource-limited environments. Next, incentives and support will be provided to faculty and students to undertake transdisciplinary research at the community-based sites. A series of grants will be offered that will give students the opportunity to initiate operational research at community sites, will increase the pipeline of basic science and family medicine advanced degrees, and encourage faculty development and retention through research grants with "twinning" opportunities with JHU faculty. Finally, support systems capacity building will be emphasized to facilitate the efficient conduct of education and research. PUBLIC HEATLH RELEVANCE: Improving medical education in resource-limited settings through Innovative curricula will result in a larger number of high quality health care workers with the competencies to address Ugandan health care priorities such as HIV/AIDS and non-communicable disease such as cardiovascular disease and cancer
