I-TECH Clinical Seminar Series

The I-TECH Global Health Clinical Seminar Series has now concluded. Thank you for your ongoing participation. Archived sessions will remain available for download through August 31, 2012.

The I-TECH Global Health Clinical Seminar Series is a bi-monthly distance learning series aimed at health care workers working in resource-limited settings worldwide.  Expert clinicians present on a variety of care and treatment topics via live, interactive sessions broadcast over the internet free of charge to participating clinicians.  These 60 minute sessions typically use a case based format during the live session and have a listserv that allows participants to engage in follow-up communication across sites after each session. Archived sessions are available for downloading from this website. Most sessions are conducted in English.
