1. Refugee and Elderly Global Health – Introduction

Enrolled: 7 students
Lectures: 6

Welcome to Refugee and Elderly Global Health e-Learning Program, the world’s first CanMeds based global health e-learning program.

Each module is authored by an expert in the field and organized with competency-based learning objectives, interactive case studies, core learning content, video case discussions and links to additional on-line resources. A brief overview of each module takes 10-15 minutes, but there are many layers of interactive on-line resources to provide learners with an opportunity for an in-depth learning experience.

We recommend that you start with the Introduction Module which provides an overview of the e-learning program and a Global Health Education Framework that outlines competencies and values and principles that are important for practitioners of global health.
