Can we adapt the CHEPSAA courses to better support health system leaders?

CHEPSAA launched its two open access courses – Introduction to Complex Health Systems and Introduction to Health Policy and Systems Research – in January 2015. Since then, these courses have been downloaded from more than 60 countries and have been adapted and taught in settings as varied as Kenya, Ghana, India, China, Bangladesh, the Philippines and South Africa. The courses are often attended by diverse students, ranging from aspirant or established researchers and educators, to health system managers and those working in non-governmental organisations. Working in partnership with the Resilient and Responsive Health Systems (RESYST) consortium, we are now going to explore if it will be possible to develop a version of the CHEPSAA courses that is specifically targeted at leaders and strategic managers in the health system.
