Each course consists of an introduction, 6 modules, and a closing & feedback session.

Every module consists of a pre-reading, a pre-reflection to be posted on the platform TUFH.ORG*, an assignment (that will be graded) and, a 2-hour virtual meeting divided into:

• 1-hour guest lecture, breakout exercises and the explanation for next assignment to be completed by each student and sent to the tutor for evaluation,
• 1-hour small group discussions for tutors and students (about the previous exercise)

Each iSTEP course will have several groups where students from different countries and healthcare sectors are assigned to work together with one tutor.

Deadline to sign up: August 10th, 2023

We have a maximum of 30 participants, will be selected on first come, first serve basis.
