Improving Women's Health Globally Through On-Line Education and Training

Kimberly Templeton of the University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute in the U.S. will develop educational materials for healthcare providers and researchers on women's health, focusing on sex and gender influences on health. They will establish a virtual center for women's health education to develop, disseminate, and evaluate online teaching materials. These materials will be developed by experts in the field, with guidance from healthcare professionals in the country in which they would be used, and they will be created by partners in the United States, Nigeria, and Kenya initially as a proof of concept. The materials will provide practical, clinically relevant information encompassing common communicable, non-communicable, and chronic conditions across the life course, and they will be available on-line free of charge for a global audience.
