About the project:
A one-year training program that will provide a firm foundation for trainees, with the guidance of well-trained and experienced primary care physicians. The graduates are expected to become leaders and trainers in their own future clinics, of which many will be in remote areas with difficult access to higher levels of care.
This project is synergistic with other EU initiatives in Jordan and the entire region; many projects are currently focused on a similar idea of improving the level of training in higher education
This project fits in with the interests of the EU partners by providing a platform from which they can develop their own teaching skills, effectively expanding their ability to affect change in the health sector outside of their own region.
