In pursuit of our mission, we work with national societies as well as established experts around the world to offer educational courses customized to the scientific/medical needs, cultures and learning styles of target participants.

We focus primarily on developing countries. However, we also organize and/or sponsor educational courses in industrialized countries.

From an interactive module on epidemiology in Minas Gerais, Brazil; to an international symposium on atherosclerosis, thrombosis and transfusion medicine in Bangalore, India; to a laboratory course in San Jose, Costa Rica; to an advanced training course in Cascais, Portugal, we are continually creating partnerships to build capacity and lead self-sustaining scientific and educational efforts in dozens of countries worldwide.

We support approved educational courses by:

• Offering guidance on program development
• Engaging key international speakers for proposed courses
• Covering expenses that would not be covered otherwise, such as speakers’ airfare and accommodations
• Promoting courses

Have you identified a clear need for an educational course? Let us know and apply here.
