DRUG: Courses: Pharmaceutical Policy & Management & Rational Medicine Use July 2019
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi E-Druggers
I have previously posted information about these courses and I am pleased to say there has been a good response with many participants coming from outside South Africa and even from outside Africa!
If you have not applied yet the closing date has been extended to April 30th. So there is still time.
These courses are very interesting because participants bring their experiences and ideas and share them in the class discussions. So everybody learns from each other.
Please note that for those who would like to do a 14week accredited distance learning course this is also on offer for both courses. These count towards the UWC MPH programme but are also recognized for continuing education credits!
Here is the information from UWC about the courses.
Pharmaceutical Policy and Management and Rational Medicines Use Short Courses and fully accredited Online/Distance Learning Modules will be offered by the School of Public Health in collaboration with the School of Pharmacy, UWC, Extraordinary Professor Richard Laing, Boston University, USA, Dr Raffaella Ravinetto, Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp, Belgium, colleagues from South African provincial and national Departments of Health.
