项目摘要

Abstract The United Republic of Tanzania faces an overwhelming burden of both communicable and non- communicable diseases and an acute shortage of well-trained critical care providers particularly in rural areas. Limited numbers of doctors and nurses undermine effective scale-up of antiretroviral therapy to the estimated 1.4 million people living with HIV/AIDS. Further health professionals are ill-prepared when they graduate to work unsupervised in rural districts. The Government has asked schools to increase class sizes and enhance curricula but there are too few faculty to meet these pedagogical demands and simultaneously pursue research interests. To address these issues, three major Tanzanian universities - Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS), Kilimanjaro Christian Medical University University College (KCMUCo), and the Catholic University of Health and Allied Sciences (CUHAS) - have formed the Transforming Health Education in Tanzania Consortium (THET) with two long-standing United States partners, the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and Duke University. THET partners have complementary strengths and propose to share expertise and mentor each other to implement innovative approaches that enhance the quality of medical and nursing education and research, focusing especially on HIV/AIDS. THET’s specific aims are to: 1) standardize and deliver competency-based curricula for medical and nursing education across the three institutions so that their graduates can serve Tanzanian people where they are needed most; 2) provide supportive environments for education and research to retain faculty and encourage trainees and students to reach their maximum potential; and 3) reach out to key stakeholders to ensure the relevance and sustainability of the proposed activities. A comprehensive monitoring and evaluation process will ensure that THET meets its objectives. THET has highly experienced Leadership, Technical and Operations Teams, and an outstanding Advisory Committee to deliver on activities. In addition to improving education and research at THET schools of medicine and nursing, other allied health professions schools among the partners and at non-THET schools will benefit and thus directly address the challenges facing Tanzania in improving the health of its people.

抽象的坦桑尼亚联合共和国面临着交流和非交流和非交流的压倒性燃烧可传播的疾病和训练有素的重症监护提供者的严重短缺，尤其是在农村地区。有限数量的医生和护士破坏了抗逆转录病毒疗法的有效扩大规模 140万人患有艾滋病毒/艾滋病。进一步的卫生专业人员毕业后会做好准备在农村地区无监督的工作。政府已要求学校增加班级规模并增强课程，但教师太少，无法满足这些教学要求，简直就是说研究兴趣。为了解决这些问题，三所主要坦桑尼亚大学 - 穆希姆比利大学乞力马扎罗州基督教医科大学学院（KCMUCO）健康与盟友科学（MUHAS），天主教卫生大学和盟军科学（CUHAS）形成了转变的健康在坦桑尼亚财团（THET）的教育与两个长期的美国合作伙伴，分校加利福尼亚旧金山（UCSF）和杜克大学。 Thet合作伙伴具有互补的优势，提议分享专业知识并相互指导，以实施创新的方法来增强医学和护士教育和研究的质量，尤其是艾滋病毒/艾滋病。 Thet的具体目标是：1）在整个人中标准化并提供基于能力的医学和护理教育课程三个机构，以便他们的毕业生可以在最需要的坦桑尼亚人民服务。 2）提供教育和研究的支持环境，以保留教师并鼓励学员和学生发挥最大潜力； 3）与主要利益相关者联系，以确保相关性和可持续性提议的活动。全面的监控和评估过程将确保Thet满足其目标。 THET拥有经验丰富的领导力，技术和运营团队，并且是杰出的交付活动的咨询委员会。除了改善学校的教育和研究医学和护士，合作伙伴和非THET学校中的其他盟军卫生专业人员将受益，从而直接解决坦桑尼亚在改善其人民健康方面面临的挑战。
