New Teaching Tool Kit: Global Health

The Consortium of Universities for Global Health has released a tool kit that is organised around a series of competencies, with teaching strategies and resources such as websites, videos, journal articles and reports listed against each competency. Although focused on global health, it is likely to be useful to HPSR educators too because many of the competencies are similar to those covered in HPSR courses.
