Health 2024

Six masters prepared healthcare professors came together to form the FOL Liberia Health Team (LHT). A 15-member FOL US Health Team (USHT) was formed to mentor and support the LHT and also to fundraise for the FOL Health Project in Liberia. The LHT conducted needs assessment surveys of a sample of faculty members in the schools of nursing and nurse midwifery and for a sample of nursing and midwifery clinicians.

The major objective of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Workshops for faculty of the schools of nursing and midwifery is to enhance the teaching competency of Liberian nursing and midwifery educators in delivering an evidence-based and quality teaching learning strategies and evaluation. Helping faculty develop high-quality instruction can positively affect student learning outcomes. There is also evidence that keeping health care nursing and midwifery clinicians up-to-date and competent is a continuous challenge in today’s dynamic healthcare environment. Based on this evidence, the aim of the Clinician Professional Development Workshop is to improve the skills of practicing nurses and midwives to better meet the needs of their patients.

With the financial support of FOL and now Global Health Ministries, the Liberian Health Team will begin workshop series number five the week of January 8 through 12, 2024.
