Training & Education
As a founding Center of the Department of Global Health at the University of Washington, HAI’s technical staff helped train tomorrow’s leaders in public health to activate lasting change…
…in the countries where we worked.
A core component of HAI’s approach is to build capacity within existing health care systems. This means investing in people at all levels, ensuring they have the necessary tools and skills to not only provide care, but also to improve it. In addition to a long history of providing on-site training and coaching in clinical skills and health data use and analysis, HAI partnered with local universities and public research institutes to embed research skills in local health systems. This leads to evidence-based systems improvements that can be tested, adjusted, and ultimately scaled-up in response to locally-identified priorities.
…in the field of global health.
From the moment we opened our doors, Health Alliance International was affiliated with the University of Washington. As educators, HAI/UW faculty transformed decades of experience in health research, program implementation, and advocacy into opportunities for problem-based learning for students in UW’s Department of Global Health. Outside of the classroom, HAI provided countless opportunities for UW students in the Schools of Public Health, Medicine, Nursing, and Social Work to gain experience working in partnership with, and for the benefit of, health systems around the world.
Again and again, Health Alliance International has proven their commitment to public health training and education, both in the countries where they work and at the University of Washington. As a Center of the UW Department of Global Health, Health Alliance International is uniquely positioned to both implement and evaluate health system interventions, while simultaneously building the capacity of the next generation of public health leaders.
When HAI talks about CAPACITY BUILDING, we recognize the incredible knowledge, experience, and expertise that already exists in the countries where we work. Our role, then, is to bring our own skills and experience to the table as collaborators.
