JHPIEGO

  • Care of Women with HIV/AIDS Living in Limited-Resource Settings ReproLearn® Tutorials (multimedia)
    In response to the international HIV/AIDS epidemic, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HIV/AIDS Bureau, of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has begun collaborating with the JHPIEGO Corporation, an affiliate of Johns Hopkins University. The goal of this collaboration is to develop training and education programs in limited-resource settings.
    Drawing on its international resources and expertise, JHPIEGO has begun to develop a series of ReproLearn® tutorials on the “Care of Women with HIV/AIDS Living in Limited-Resource Settings,” using “A Guide to the Clinical Care of Women with HIV” as a resource. Prepared and narrated by Dr. Jean Anderson, editor of the Guide, the tutorials are designed to provide physicians, faculty and healthcare trainers with the technical knowledge they need to provide high quality healthcare services to women with HIV/AIDS and to train other healthcare providers. ReproLearn tutorials are a unique learning tool because they bring international experts to the learner through a multimedia experience that includes:

    • Audio narration
    • Presentation graphics
    • Photographs, charts and graphics
    • Links to related articles
    • Synchronized text
    • Downloadable text transcript
    • Self-grading quiz

    The first tutorials in the series, An Overview, and Reproductive Health, can be found on ReproLine at: http://www.reproline.jhu.edu/english/4morerh/4hivaid/hivreal.htmA CD-ROM with a total of 8 tutorials will be available in mid-December on the following topics:

    • Prevention
    • Voluntary Counseling and Testing
    • Nutrition
    • Pregnancy
    • Breastfeeding

    For more information, contact Natalie Maier nmaier@jhpiego.org.

  • Transfer of Learning: A Guide for Strengthening Healthcare Services
    This publication is being produced jointly by the PRIME II Project and JHPIEGO. The primary purpose of the Guide is to share ideas and techniques that can be used by supervisors, trainers, learners and their co-workers before, during and after training interventions to ensure support for the transfer of knowledge and skills to the work place. The ideas and techniques for transfer are summarized in a matrix/grid. The matrix/grid also serves as an index for the rest of the Guide which makes detailed information on the ideas/techniques easy to find and easy to share. Other stakeholders, such as policy makers and/or ministry officials at national, regional and local levels, and program planners, can also gain an appreciation of the transfer process and an understanding of the support and resources needed to ensure transfer of learning.The Guide is nearly final. Comments submitted by external reviewers have been incorporated. The English version should be available in early 2002, with Spanish and French translations to follow. A standard mailing will be sent from Intrah and JHPIEGO’s publication’s lists — so if you typically get our publications, you should get this one as well. However, if you would like to special order multtiple copies in advance, please contact Lucy Harber at lharber@intrah.org or Rick Sullivan at rsullivan@jhpiego.org.
