Training and Curriculum Development
I work with partners to provide training, training of trainers materials, and curriculum development. Topics range from child protection in health facility settings to research methodologies.

Leading a workshop on qualitative and qualitative research for Ministry of Health staff in Garowe, Somalia while working in Somalia, Somaliland and the Federated Puntland States on a project to learn about populations who are vulnerable to contracting HIV. My findings led to several programming interventions by UNICEF and the Global Fund in 2020. Photo Aidrus Barre.
In response to a request by former colleagues at IUP, I created this video for IUP students to watch during the pandemic for their online courses. In this brief tutorial, I try to share with viewers a range of the many things a medical anthropologist does to help students learn whether they would like to explore this field as a career.
