Doha, Qatar: The Institute for Population Health (IPH) at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) recently launched a certificate course to support healthcare professionals in adapting to the evolving health and wellbeing landscape.
Titled “Smart Health for a Changing World: Trends and Tools,” the three-day course was inaugurated by Dr. Javaid Sheikh, Dean of WCM-Q, in the presence of more than 20 registered attendees from Qatar and Saudi Arabia, as well as WCM-Q faculty.
The course provides integrated knowledge that connects traditional healthcare and public health principles with emerging technologies and global health trends.
It explores the evolving healthcare landscape through foundational principles of health and disease, disease burden, evidence-based practice, innovations and emerging trends such as lifestyle medicine, artificial intelligence and planetary health to prepare for the future of healthcare.
The program was delivered through seminars, didactic lectures, interactive discussions and online learning to encourage a proactive, learner-centered approach and critical thinking.
