Day 2 of the #MathEpi Workshop: Creating a rigorous #curriculum for the AIMS Cooperative Master’s Program in Mathematical Epidemiology that meets the needs of the African continent. AIMS Research and Innovation Centre and U of T Public Health have conducted a thorough needs assessment to guide the process.

#HappeningNow: Dr. Micah Matiangi from Amref International University (AMIU) is leading a session on identifying the skills to be developed during the #MathEpi Master’s Program in line with the overreaching objectives of the program. #CurriculumDevelopment #BuildingAfrica #TeamWork

Going into the workshop, some of the #MathEpi Program objectives were to build a strong team of African #Mathematical modelers, #buildcapacity for modeling infectious diseases & improve the effectiveness of Math Epi in #decisionmaking. What's required to achieve these objectives?

📢JOB: Post-Doctoral Fellow in Bioinformatics - Dar Ifakara Health Institute seeks a qualified Post-Doctoral Fellow in Bioinformatics to join the second phase of the Molecular Surveillance of Malaria in Mainland Tanzania (MSMT2) project. The candidate should have a Ph.D. or equivalent

#HappeningNow: Group discussions to brainstorm where the #MathEpi graduates will be deployed, the tasks they will be carrying out, and the #competencies (Skills, Knowledge, and attitude) they will need to have to perform those tasks. #CurriculumDevelopment #NewPrograms #Skills

"We are excited to join forces with African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) to advance healthcare across the continent. Thank you, AIMS, for this #collaborative opportunity and for engaging Amref International University (AMIU) in this workshop" ~ Dr. Micah Matiangi, during the official closing of the 2-Day #MathEpi Workshop.

The MaModAfrica Consortium was represented by a team from Mozambique at the #MathEpi Workshop. Thank you, Vasco Américo Sambo and Teresa Machai from CISM Manhiça for honouring the invite. Your expertise significantly contributed to the discussions. #Collaborations #TeamWork

We would also like to thank Gloria Shirima (Gloria Shirima) from Ifakara Health Institute and Swiss TPH for her insightful presentations, comments, questions and contributions towards the development of the #MathEpi Program. The workshop was a success because the continent came together.

"I appreciate Wilfred Ndifon for being a driving force in my work across Canada and Africa. With the #support of the community and people like Wilfred, I have reached where I am today. I am passionate about passing this on to students and helping them achieve their goals" ~ Jude Kong

Thanks to Jules Tchatchueng from Centre Pasteur du Cameroun, Linda Esso from MinsanteCameroun & Daniel Tcheutia from AIMS_CMR for introducing a diversified perspective from Cameroon into the preparations of the #MathEpi Program. Pan-Africanism is one of our core values at African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS).

In closing, Prof. Wilfred Ndifon, AIMS Research and Innovation Centre Centre President thanked everyone who contributed to the success of the workshop, especially Mastercard Foundation, Government of Rwanda, University of Toronto, and the entire African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) Community. A lot has been discussed & we look forward to successful implementation
