2023 GLOBAL ONCOLOGY IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE COURSE
This Online Certificate program is an Introduction to Global Oncology and Implementation Science. Part of the course will be based on introducing the win-win approach for global oncology. The second part will focus on theories and methods relevant to the design of strategies to facilitate uptake of health-related interventions. The course will be coordinated by Prof Ahmed Elzawawy, Chair of the GHC win-win initiative
Starting March 1, 2023
MEDICAL PHYSICS ESSENTIALS FOR PRACTICING MEDICAL PHYSICISTS
This course based on needs assessment survey conducted with the Nigerian Association of Medical Physicists, will cover the essentials and most important aspects and medical physics, covering dosimetry, calibration of Linear Accelerators and important AAPM task group reports for practicing medical physicists identified in the survey. The course is coordinated by Prof Stephen Avery of the University of Pennsylvania
Start July 8, 2022
HYPOFRACTIONATED RADIOTHERAPY EDUCATION COURSE
he purpose of this course is to provide education and training in hypofractionated radiotherapy with major opportunity for professional development (with certificates and awards) leveraging ICTs/AI. The course will include lectures from experts at world-leading institutions, a treatment planning including: Havard, Johns Hopkins and University of Pennsylvania. The course will also include an Olympics/competition (which in the past has drawn thousands of participants) and culminate with certificates and awards during the 2022 NIH-funded Global Health Catalyst summit
Start: February 18, 2021

ADVANCED RADIATION THERAPY PHYSICS
The student will be introduced to the fundamental physics of advanced treatment techniques used in radiation therapy, which include external beam electron, proton, and photon therapy and brachytherapy. For these techniques, the basic principles of the techniques such as clinical applications, radiation delivery equipment, treatment planning methods, methods of dose calculations, determination of time of irradiation from dose prescription, dose measurements, and quality assurance will be studied. This knowledge will prepare the student for an introduction to the clinical practice of medical physics applied to complex treatment techniques used in radiation therapy. Also, this should help prepare the student for research in radiation therapy physics
Start November 16 2019
SURGICAL ONCOLOGY WEBINARS
The purpose of these webinars is to provide continuous education on key topics relevant to surgical oncology practice, especially for participants from Low and Middle Income Countries. The webinars are presented live by subject matter experts. Enjoy interaction with the presenters in a live format or view the entire webinar after the event on your schedule. These extremely informative education sessions will be accessible after each webinar through the GO-U Education Portal. Organized by the European Society of Surgical Oncology
Start September 1, 2018
2018/2019 GLOBAL HEALTH CANCER RESEARCH AND EDUCATION EXCELLENCE IN RADIOTHERAPY (CAREER) CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
The global health CaREER certificate program is offered by the Harvard Global Health Catalyst winwin initiative, University of Pennsylvania (Radiation Oncology), in partnership with faculty at the University of Heidelberg (Medical Faculty Mannheim), Oxford University UK, University of Massachusetts, and distinguished experts across the world including from the diaspora, and low and middle income countries (LMICs) in Africa, South America and Asia. The goal of the course is to build capacity and provide continuous medical education for LMICs oncology health professionals and researchers. The course is a result of survey/needs assessment of oncology health professionals in different African countries over the past years, and experience from a DAAD-funded program in Bangladesh. It will be continuously updated in the next years based on feedback/needs of LMICs oncology health professionals.
