Doha: The department of Continuing and Professional Education (CPE) College of the North Atlantic – Qatar (CNA-Q), in collaboration with the college’s School of Health Sciences (SHS), has successfully transferred and delivered a series of healthcare training courses online.
The courses – developed to support professionals in Qatar’s healthcare sector – were previously only offered through face-to-face delivery but have since been transitioned and redesigned for optimum online delivery as a direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic and country-wide lockdown measures in Qatar and fully align with Qatar’s Department of Healthcare Professions (DHP) accreditation guidelines.
Over 1085 participants have so far enrolled and completed courses from CNA-Q’s healthcare sector training series on key subjects such as Medical Safety in the Elderly, Healthcare Information Management, Communications in Healthcare, Basics of Healthcare Research, Clinical Decision Making, and Health & Wellness Empowerment.
“Healthcare professionals in Qatar have faced disruption to their continued educational development as a result of the pandemic. Through our efforts, we have been able to support the evolving needs of individuals and groups in the healthcare community by ensuring continuity in their learning and development,” said Dr. Suhaim Khalaf Al-Josaiman, Manager of CNA-Q’s Continuing and Professional Education.
“The Department of Continuing Professional Education provided logistical, operational, and technical support to achieve the highest standards of CPD delivery while the School of Health Sciences assisted in overseeing the academic development and quality throughout this transition. We are proud to have contributed positively towards the healthcare sector in the State of Qatar.”
