This webpage, produced by the “Partners in Global Health” Initiative of the Universities of Wales Swansea, UK, and Ibadan, Nigeria, contains a set of learning materials for health workers. As of July 2006, the topics available are: the global burden of disease; malaria; tuberculosis; HIV and AIDS; obesity and parasitology. Each module is in the form of a PowerPoint presentation, with content covering epidemiology, basic biology, transmission, clinical presentation, clinical management, prevention and control, and information sources and further reading. The modules also include assessment exercises to allow users to check their progress and assess what they have learned.
Although the modules are primarily aimed at medical students, they are designed in a way that they can easily be altered for use by other target groups. The Initiative also calls for anyone who wishes to develop a module on a new topic to contact them.
