Professional and Executive Education Programs
UGHE’s Professional and Executive Education Programs equip health professionals, educators, and innovators with the skills to drive systemic change. From the PgCert in Health Professions Education to the East Africa Biodesign (EAB) Fellowship and specialized executive programs, we empower leaders to advance equitable, sustainable health systems.
Participants engage in fieldwork and classroom learning, leveraging case studies, experiential methods, and individual mentorship. Faculty include experts from institutions like Harvard Medical School, Yale University, and Rwanda’s Ministry of Health. Programs examine healthcare implementation in Rwanda and globally, empowering learners to apply solutions in their own contexts.
Transformative leadership development ensures graduates are equipped to deliver impactful, value-based healthcare programs. Alumni benefit from a global community of practice, fostering ongoing collaboration across borders.
Impact since 2016:
536 leaders trained across 52 countries globally.
