Interprofessional e-health

A survey focusing on interprofessional e-health initiatives within education and clinical practice contexts across the U21 network has been undertaken and a range of case-studies documented. A draft paper informed by a brief literature review and outlining survey results was presented at the 2007 annual meeting in Hong Kong.

In 2008, the interprofessional e-health steering committee will submit a paper on interprofessional e-health to the Journal of Interprofessional Care.

A web survey is available for anyone wishing to include their interprofessional e-health activities on the current case-studies data base.

U21 Health Sciences / United Nations Millennium Development Goal (MDG) training and education initiative

As a means of developing students' awareness and knowledge of UN MDGs, three U21 Health Sciences member universities (the University of British Columbia, The University of Hong Kong, and Tec de Monterrey University) have been in dialogue with the UN towards the development of a course on the education of UN MDGs. During the 2007 meeting in Hong Kong, a broad range of member universities and schools indicated an interest in being involved in this initiative and the Executive endorsed ongoing work with the UN as a means of developing a course that could be offered in module format, for flexible integration into the various health sciences curricula.

Telehealth for underserved populations

The 'Telehealth for underserved populations' initiative has involved medical students to date. The aim of this project is to facilitate telehealth between doctors on-site in designated hospitals and specialists from the U21 Health Sciences network. It is anticipated that this project will be expanded to include other health sciences disciplines and additional hospitals.
