Brief description of partnership: GW, Physicians for Peace, and the Eritrean Ministry of Health joined efforts to create the Partnership for Eritrea. The Partnership developed and ran a Graduate Medical Education program at the Orotta School of Medicine. The first stage of the Partnership’s program established surgical and pediatric residency training programs for Eritrean physicians. The two-year pediatric and three-year surgical residency programs began in January 2008, with a class of eight pediatric and five surgical residents. The first residents were selected from the existing pool of general practitioners in Eritrea who were trained elsewhere in Africa and have many years of clinical experience. The Partnership for Eritrea was officially inaugurated in 2006, and an onsite leadership team was deployed in October 2007. The Partnership’s second phase began the summer of 2009 by launching the OB/GYN residency with a class of six residents, in collaboration with the Department of Ob/Gyn at Columbia University Medical Center.

Brief description of the partnership: SAMSS has been funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, housed within SPHHS, and guided by an advisory committee made up of African medical educators, public officials and experts in medical education in Sub-Saharan Africa. The goal of SAMSS is to increase the level of practical knowledge about medical education in Sub-Saharan Africa in order to inform educators, policy makers, and international donors about the challenges and opportunities for increasing the capacity of African medical schools and the retention of their graduates. In order to achieve this aim, SAMSS has taken a twofold approach. First, SAMSS has completed ten site visits to African medical schools that are leaders and pioneers in various aspects of medical education. Each site visit team included two professors from GW and two professors from other African universities. In addition to the site visits, SAMSS has designed and launched a survey of all medical schools in Sub-Saharan Africa. The survey covers fairly extensive institutional demographics as well as perceived barriers to expansion and quality improvement. The survey is being administered in partnership with the University of Pretoria, and data collection is still continuing, with a response rate currently approaching 70%. (Source: GWUMC Database)
