TRAINING
International Health Systems Program's
mission in its training program is to strengthen the capacity of health
system practitioners from middle and lower income countries to improve
the performance of their health systems. Our programs are designed for senior officials and policymakers who strive to improve the health of citizens in their countries. IHSP courses blend theoretical
and conceptual knowledge with practical tools to accomplish important
tasks and hands-on practice in using those tools. Our courses build
on our research and public health practice throughout the world.

CUSTOM-DESIGNED TRAINING PROGRAMS
In addition to our regularly scheduled intensive two-week courses, IHSP develops custom-designed programs to fit the unique needs of a country or organization. We offer Needs Assessment, Training Program Development, and Training Seminars in the U.S. and in Host Countries. Through established training resources and tools, we can successfully
transfer and implement short course models internationally.
Ordinarily, the programs are led by a team of Harvard faculty and other public health experts. They apply theories and tools from the areas of economics, public health, political science and management to better understand complex health issues that range from health care access to cost and quality. Topics have included:
Utilizing the Private sector to Achieve Health
Goals
