PRIME’s core teaching programmes are now available for online or in-person delivery. Our partners can make a request on behalf of a group of people that they represent or bring together a group of colleagues for a one-off session or a short series.
All PRIME teaching, online and face-to-face is based on the PRIME principles of whole person care and interactive education. It will always include small group discussions and often involve role play participation by attendees.
In order to foster relationships and to role model our core values these sessions are recommended to be undertaken live using video conferencing, though they may be recorded to allow those who are unable to attend or wish to watch again the opportunity of accessing them later.

Global Health Elective
Global Health Elective
Facilitators - Emma Hayward & Mike Mulongo
This course, a “virtual elective” was delivered in 2021 and 2022 involving five students from Leicester Medical School along with CMF students from Kenya. It involved two half days of online teaching each week over six weeks. The main themes were global health topics (universal health coverage, equity, maternal-child health etc), teaching skills and "Global Health and Me" which highlighted different career pathways that included global health.
Although the UK medical students are returning to more traditional electives there has been interest from medical students in Africa and Asia for a further programme at some point in the future.
The core materials for this programme are not yet available online.
