A OIC supercourse is needed.
To accomplish this we will first translate all the lectures into
Arabic 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
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.
