Health Professions Education

What We Do › Health Professions Education

“Working in a delivery room is different from any other clinical environment, even a regular operating room, because it is so unpredictable and ever-changing. Even an experienced healthcare provider can easily lose his or her composure if he or she has not been trained properly in emergency care. This training must become second nature, so that the situation can be assessed and the correct course of action implemented without hesitation.”

Dilmurod Yusupov, Director of the Tashkent Satellite Women’s Wellness Center, which was established in April 2000 by AIHA’s Tashkent (Uzbekistan)/Chicago (Illinois) partners.

At the very heart of any healthcare infrastructure is the ability to educate and provide practical, skills-based training to the physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals who work on the front lines of the public health system.

Whether through the introduction of a new career such as healthcare management, the transformation of an existing vocation such as nursing, or the improvement of clinical skills through practical, hands-on training, AIHA partnerships and programs are at the forefront of efforts to ensure that health professions education in developing and transitioning nations is on par with internationally-accepted standards.
