Where We Work
See our interactive map
We know that health workers perform their best when they’re confident in their skills, when their training is up to date, and when they have access to the information and technology they need to stay current. Since 1979, we’ve been helping health workers do just that. From providing scholarships for health professional students to building apps for the front lines, we’re still connecting health workers to the resources they need to be life-long learners.
Our key approaches include:
- Supporting health professional school leaders to assess and address management issues, identify cost efficiencies, and monitor and sustain improvements
- Advocating to address gender discrimination in health workforce development
- Performance-based learning that connects education and training to specific competencies and job responsibilities
- Stakeholder-driven, cyclical processes for optimizing performance and quality in health workers and facilities
- Digital health innovations for training and learning
