HED Partnership: Center for Excellence in Health and Life Sciences
University of Liberia/Indiana University/University of Massachusetts Medical School: Center for Excellence in Health and Life Sciences - This partnership seeks to address the challenges that the University of Liberia (UL) and its sister public institution, the Tubman National Institute of Medical Arts (TNIMA), face in supplying health care workers equipped to address Liberia healthcare needs. The U.S. partners have shared expertise in a variety of ways, from collecting and sending current textbooks in biology, chemistry, mathematics, nursing, and other courses to providing six-week summer study tours for Liberian faculty in the United States. In addition, the partners have collaborated to create a new two-year Core Health and Life Science Undergraduate Program and begin planning for a joint four-year bachelor's program in nursing science. Partners have also worked together to improve instructional quality in introductory science courses, develop upgrades to the preclinical science curriculum at the University of Liberia's medical and pharmacy Colleges, and modernize the University of Liberia's teaching and learning resources.
