The 2006 World Health Report highlighted the shortage of adequately prepared health professionals as the most significant threat to world health. This book focuses on the training of health professional educators (both teachers and practitioners) in low resource countries and communities at different levels of technological and material sophistication. Primarily, the book trains interdisciplinary health educators and practitioners to improve their pedagogical skills and to increase the quality and numbers of health care workers (physicians, nurses, health officers, medical laboratory technicians, environmental technicians) available to work with different cultures and linguistic groups in any one country. In addition, this book interests the growing number of graduate nurse educators and practitioners in countries who teach, research and practice within the international context.|The 2006 World Health Report highlighted the shortage of adequately prepared health professionals as the most significant threat to world health.
