An OIC
Supercourse is needed. To accomplish this we will first translate selected
lectures into Arabic, Farsi and French. The reason for this is that the
lectures should not only be used by those in health, but they should be used
in disciplines such as immunology, history, education, nutrition, nursing,
etc. Our lectures are thus not targeted exclusively for physicians, but
rather for all teachers in higher education. The two central organizing
centres will be at the Library of Alexandria in Egypt, and the World Health
Organization Collaborating Center in Pittsburgh. We already have had very
successful 8 year collaboration with each other. This is not a one-way
street of knowledge, it is a two way street. Some of the most outstanding
lectures we have on disasters have been produced in Iran, we have
outstanding lectures on how to develop research from Qatar. These types of
lectures have taught many students in China, the US, Europe and Latin
America. We will use various means to disseminate lectures throughout the
OIC region as it is critical to bridge the digital divide. We have been
using mirrored servers, DVDs, and even paper.
