  1. Epidemiology SuperCourse: A Simple Model for Improving Global Health Education Khlood F. Salman, Dr. PH Faina Linkov, PhD Ronald LaPorte, PhD Eugene Shubnikov, M.D.

  2. Outline • Introduction • Background • Definition • Lecture participation • Implication • Update • Joining the Supercourse.

  3. Objectives • Identify the purpose of the Epid. Supercourse • Provide a historical background • Understand the contents • Able to access the Epid. Supercourse • Provide future direction plans.

  4. Concept of Telepreventive Medicine Telepreventive medicine Inexpensive Low to High bandwidth systems designed to reach large numbers of healthy people to prevent disease. Telemedicine Expensive High bandwidth systems designed to reach small numbers of sick people to cure disease.

  5. Background • What is the Supercourse? • Who developed it? • When? • Why?

  6. What is the Supercourse? www.pitt.edu/~super1: it is defined as an advanced “Model” or a “system” that translates science into the classroom. Supercourse includes a library of over 4802 lectures on Public Health and Medicine shared for free by over 50,000 members of Global health network from over 170 countries.

  7. Joshua Lederberg(1958) Baruch S. Blumberg(1976) Ferid Murad(1998) Gunter Blobel(1999) Nobel Prize Laureates in the Supercourse (Medicine) Eric R. Kandel (2000) Paul Greengard (2000) Paul C Lauterbur (2003) Leland H Hartwell (2001)

  8. Who Developed it? It was developed by: Dr. Ronald LaPorte and his team. (Dr. LaPorte is a Professor of Epidemiology at the Graduate School of Public Health (GSPH)/Pitt University) When? In 1999 Objectives? -To improve health training and research in global health and prevention -To share knowledge and expertise worldwide.

  9. The Implications of Supercourse on Global Health Education and Research I. Information Sharing Through the Supercourse library of lectures, we can distribute lectures related to diseases, prevention, disaster preparedness, and research findings as well II. Time Saving New educators will be able to reduce preparation time needed to develop lectures III. Content Quality and Enhancement High quality and readily usable contents make better educators world wide

  10. The Implications of Supercourse on Global Health Education and Research IV. Free Content The concept of library of lectures for all to use in many ways similar to that of “freeware” or “open source software’ on the computer V. Easy Access -Easy and accessible through the internet -Medical and nursing faculty in developing countries have access to current scientific information which they would not normally have.

  11. Teacher Resource Repository of lectures designed to enhance teaching
