Our Approach to Learning
We believe education must do more than transfer knowledge. It must support the entire journey of the health professional and the communities they serve. Our work is informed by the Education for Life model, comprising three pillars.
(Frenk et al., 2022, Lancet)
1
LEARNING THROUGHOUT LIFE
Education shouldn’t end at graduation. The health field changes too fast for that. We build expert-reviewed resources and learning experiences to support continuous lifelong learning at every stage.
2
LEARNING TO PROMOTE AND RESTORE HEALTHY LIVES
The core of our work is service. This pillar focuses on developing the practical skills, knowledge, and compassion needed to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals, families, and communities.
3
LEARNING TO LIVE ONE'S OWN LIFE
You can’t pour from an empty cup. This pillar focuses on supporting holistic personal well-being, building resilience, preventing burnout, and advocating for work environments that support everyone’s health.
