Abstract
Continuing medical education (CME) is vital to maintaining knowledge and expanding the skills of medical professionals. It is also vital to medical para-professionals, such as community health workers (CHWs), who increasingly are providing essential clinical services and prevention training in underserved communities around the world. This article describes an emerging program to prepare CHWs with a standardized curriculum that is localized for individual communities. One means of localizing the training is through a CME program that allows CHWs to focus on medical and health conditions they face every day. Further, over time, this CME program enables the health workers to stay current with medical developments and to grow their skills in new areas. The CME resources are delivered by way of a free mobile app with which to download self-contained training programs and to upload records of the CHW’s earned credits. In addition, this CME program uses CHWs cell numbers and email addresses to deliver critical health alerts and immediate access to relevant tutorials. This outreach tool serves as an early alert system to reach CHWs anywhere in the world.
