The course aims to provide a cadre of health practitioners in different countries with knowledge, skills and competencies in sexual and reproductive health as well as research in this filed, especially for those health care providers, whose access to learning is limited by time, financial resource or other constraints and where access to quality education and learning in the field of sexual and reproductive health is limited. With this training program, participants will learn from first hand health experiences in day to day demands and through longer term challenges in the field of reproductive health and research. In 2010, total of 147 health professionals from 48 countries have been enrolled in this training program. In 2011, total of 149 health professionals from 37 countries have been enrolled in this training program. What distinguishes this course from other courses is that the participants build direct contact with WHO (Department of Reproductive Health and Research) and other important research institutions. This enforces their professional network and open new opportunities in their carriers if they are motivated and have innovative ideas and ambitions.
