Description

Kenya's healthcare transformation depends not only on policy, technology, infrastructure, and innovation, but also on the ability of the health workforce to translate national and organizational priorities into everyday practice.

This short CPD learning experience introduces participants to the connection between emerging health-system priorities and the professional capabilities required to implement them. Using themes reflected in contemporary healthcare transformation discussions, participants will consider the growing importance of workforce readiness, quality and patient safety, digital capability, data-informed decision-making, leadership, and resilient health systems.

The course also invites participants to reflect on their own professional-development priorities and identify an area in which continued learning could strengthen their contribution to Kenya's evolving health system.

This Course Short serves as an entry point into a broader journey of continuing professional development and lifelong learning.

  4. Reflect on their own professional-development needs and identify a priority area for continued learning.
