Two nursing professors from a small Canadian university provided a leadership role in a curriculum review of an environmental health technology program in Zambia. The combined health and education experience of these two professionals was the optimal fit to help guide and facilitate the curriculum review. This review was part of a larger project that had the ultimate goal of improving environmental management in rural and peri-urban communities in order to reduce infant and under-five mortality rates, thereby addressing three of the UN Millennium Development Goals. Participants from two post-secondary educational institutions in Zambia and a non-governmental organization spent five days together reviewing the theoretical and practical components of the program. Theoretical content, practice opportunities and demonstrable student competencies were updated within existing resources. The collegiality and respect among the participants from many disciplines provided the basis for a positive experience in intersectoral collaboration and global health.
加拿大一所小型大学的两位护理学教授在赞比亚环境卫生技术项目的课程审查中发挥了领导作用。这两位专业人士的健康与教育经验相结合，是帮助指导和推动课程审查的最佳组合。此次审查是一个更大项目的一部分，该项目的最终目标是改善农村和城市周边社区的环境管理，以降低婴儿和五岁以下儿童的死亡率，从而实现联合国千年发展目标中的三项。来自赞比亚两所高等教育机构和一个非政府组织的参与者共同花了五天时间审查该项目的理论和实践内容。在现有资源范围内更新了理论内容、实践机会和可证明的学生能力。来自多个学科的参与者之间的合作精神和相互尊重为跨部门合作和全球健康方面的积极体验奠定了基础。
