PAHO offers new online courses for health professionals

The courses seek to strengthen the knowledge and competence of health professionals in various areas of public health.

Since its foundation in 2008, the Virtual Campus for Public Health of the Pan American Health Organization has managed to establish a base of 1.7 million users. The campus provides free access to courses for health workers to continue their learning in various disciplines or specific health topics.

All the courses are self-study and promote the self-taught education of the participants. In this way, users can choose a course and take it autonomously at their own pace, without a set date to complete them.

PAHO has added eight new courses to the Virtual Campus for Public Health:

Self-care for frontline emergency responders

A ten-hour course that will provide knowledge and strategies for professionals to identify and recognize stress management in the work environment. Link: https://www.campusvirtualsp.org/es/curso/autocuidado-para-personal-en-primera-linea-de-respuesta-en-situaciones-de-emergencia-en
