Medical Licentiate workshop
COST-Africa researchers from RSCI and SSZ ran a successful three day workshop with the Medical Licentiates currently involved in COST-Africa. The workshop took place on Monday 27th to Wednesday 29th April 2015 at Mika Lodge, Lusaka. The meeting was opened by Dr Yotham Phiri (Vice Chair Person, Chainama College of Health Sciences). Dr John Kachimba (the COST-Africa Zambia PI) and Mr Duff Kopakopa (President Zambia Medical Licentiate Practitioners Association) also addressed the Medical Licentiates.
The purpose of the meeting was to bring together the COST-Africa Medial Licentiates with the research team to discuss the data collected by the Medical Licentiates thus far. During the 3 day training workshop, the medical licentiates learnt more about the data they have collected and discussed the trends and outcomes as well as strengthening future data collection. This capacity-building exercise was additional to what they learned during the COST-Africa supplementary training.
Additional to this was an opportunity for the researchers to learn from the Medical Licentiates about their time on the COST-Africa project. Lessons learnt provided great insight for various themes that the researchers intend to use to help develop exploratory qualitative component of the COST-Africa study down the line.
