Building Global Health Leadership
Capacity:
International Network for Doctoral Training in Health Leadership (NETDOC)
Welcome
to the main page for the International Network for Doctoral Training in Health Leadership!
Our community of faculty, students and staff
is growing as we work to build a cooperative network of partner programs
dedicated to accelerating the pace and reach of urgently needed doctoral-level
leadership training for senior health professionals around the world. Member
schools share curricula, distance learning technology and school
resources. They function as a
well-coordinated network in which faculty teach across universities and
students may take courses or portions of courses from schools other than the
schools in which they are enrolled. By
addressing the critical need for global leadership development within the
senior public health workforce, we hope to contribute substantially to efforts
to improve the health of people worldwide.
More background information about the rationale for the International Network for Doctoral Training in Health Leadership is available here.
In May 2009, inaugural members of the NETDOC crafted the following statement of intent for the network:
Statement of Purpose
The world's complex, interdependent and ever-changing health
environment creates a need for increased health leadership excellence and
capacity. We are an international,
collaborative network of educational institutions that offer or intend to offer
professional distance doctoral programs in health leadership. We are committed to sharing objectives,
substance and expertise to maximize access to and quality of doctoral health
leadership education worldwide.
We will achieve this by:
-
Applying the
most appropriate technology-enhanced learning (TEL);
-
Using
flexible learning approaches;
-
Advocating
for:
-
The value of
doctoral health leadership education programs;
-
Expanding
access to doctoral health leadership education;
-
Continuous
quality improvement of the network's goals, processes and outcomes;
-
Sharing
evaluation outcomes and methods;
-
Understanding
and meeting students' needs;
-
Collaboration
at multiple levels;
-
Faculty;
-
Administration;
-
Students;
-
Contribute
to developing curricula that anticipate and address vital issues;
-
Sharing best
practices in health leadership education.
We will fulfil these commitments by means of a Steering
Committee, supported by four sub-committees:
-
Membership sub-committee;
-
Curriculum sub-committee;
-
Technology and flexible learning committee;
-
Student Experience sub-committee.
