University of the Western Cape UWC Distance Education – See Details Below:
Since 1992 the School of Public Health’s (SoPH) annual Summer and Winter Schools have provided learning opportunities for well over 10,000 participants from South Africa and other African countries, making this probably the largest continuing education programme in public health in Africa.
The short course format used in both schools provides:
- responsive continuing education to health service providers; as well as
- contact time for our postgraduate students.
They also showcase the University and ‘market’ the School’s postgraduate programme, with many of our students from both South Africa and the continent more broadly hearing about us, and getting to know us, through attendance at one of the short courses.
Both schools are also designed to provide an introduction to the distance modules for registered students, who are encouraged to take advantage of this face-to-face engagement. Winter School is also open to members of the public who would like to undertake stand-alone short courses as part of their professional development, providing them with opportunities to gain additional skills in current public health issues and practice.
Courses are mostly of one week’s duration, causing a minimum of disruption to the services in which the participants work. Those which are run regularly are accredited with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) for continuing professional development purposes. Attendance numbers and topics of courses vary.
The courses are presented by the SOPH staff and guest lecturers from local and international institutions, using interactive and participatory methodologies.
Winter School
Just over a quarter of Winter School registrations in 2013 and 2014 (162 of 574) were from people in management and co-ordinating positions while 15% were in support posts (such as monitoring and evaluation officers, human resources practitioners, etc). A total of 110 (19%) were health workers, while 14 worked as community workers of some kind. Just under 10% were environmental or occupational safety officers and 26 participants worked in laboratories and pharmacies. A higher proportion than in previous years was involved in research or academic work of some kind – 9,5% or 55 of 574 – while 29 were ward councillors.
