Health Workforce Education and Training (HWFET)

Global Online Community of Practice

The purpose of this global online community is to facilitate a dialogue between stakeholders in health workforce production in order to collectively discuss challenges to and opportunities for improving the capacity and quality of health workforce education and training. The community was launched as a follow-up to the First Global Forum on Human Resources for Health, and specifically the skills-building workshop after The Forum on Strengthening the Health Workforce Production Pipeline.

The objectives of this community are to:

• Involve representatives from all stakeholder groups, including students, in a global dialogue on health workforce education and training
• Agree on the content and boundaries of the health workforce production pipeline
• Identify weak points or challenges in the trajectory, including teacher and student attrition
• Develop and evaluate solutions for their strengthening
• Share relevant, peer-reviewed literature
• Identify priority issues or topics for research
• .
