COVID-19 Tele-Education Series for Healthcare Providers in LMICs

Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Vanderbilt Institute for Global Health are committed to supporting healthcare providers in low- and middle-income countries during the global COVID-19 pandemic through education. In partnership with Assist International and Project ECHO, we are offering a tele-education series that will provide remote training and a platform for discussion and the sharing of best practices for healthcare providers caring for COVID patients in low-resource settings. The sessions are open to all and will be live-streamed via a video-conferencing platform. Recordings will also be available following the sessions. Details for upcoming sessions, including registration links can be found below.
