    The African Regional Health Education Centre (ARHEC) redesigned its advanced diploma in health education. The revised program better meets student and employer needs by offering specialized modules and practical fieldwork.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Health Education
    • Medical Training

    Background:

    • The African Regional Health Education Centre (ARHEC) initially offered Master's and non-graduate diploma programs in health education.
    • The non-graduate diploma course was intended as a temporary, advanced training for experienced health personnel.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To modify the advanced diploma course in health education to better address the needs of students and employers.
    • To integrate health education skills with professional practice and eliminate discrepancies between diploma and Master's level educators.

    Main Methods:

    • Restructuring the advanced diploma course to include a core curriculum and specialized modules (community health, hospital patient education, school health).
    • Tailoring practical fieldwork to align with student interests within each module.

  • Conducting a preliminary evaluation of the modified program.

    • Main Results:

    • The revised program provides a more effective response to the needs of students and their employers.
    • The new structure addresses the issue of having two distinct categories of health educators (diploma and Master's level).
    • Preliminary evaluations suggest improved utilization of newly acquired health education skills.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified advanced diploma program in health education at ARHEC is more responsive to practical needs.
    • Future modules are planned to cover areas such as media and occupational health.
    • The program aims to enhance the integration of health education into diverse professional settings.
