Abstract
Program/Project Purpose: Increasing numbers of environmental
emergencies (disasters, pandemics) and manmade disasters around
the world, require diverse training of healthcare professionals and
students at all levels. Global Health (GH) teaching programs
struggle with developing an optimal model which could move the
needle from theoretical understanding of the issues to real-life
implementation and capacity building.
An innovative module e “WoE”- developed under the BenGurion University of the Negev Global Health Track was successfully implemented during multi-cultural GH training courses over
the last 4 years. A course graduate reported her effective use of
WoE during 2015 floods in Chennai, India which supported saving
of lives there. Lessons-learned from WoE could inform other GH
programs which are in need of effective EPR modules.
