Partnership in Advanced Clinical Education (PACE)

In 2011, Keprecon partnered with the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UoMLSOM) and University of Nairobi to form the Partnership in Advanced Clinical Education (PACE). The goal of the project partnership was to establish and support County-based Centres of Excellence in provision of innovative HIV/AIDS related training and mentorship for health care workers (HCWs). The project’s objectives were to:

  1. Conduct Trainings of Trainer courses, including non-electronic distance learning in the selected counties.
  2. Support continuing provider training of other HCWs in the county by a team of county experts using traditional and non-electronic distance learning tools.
  3. Support other targeted educational methods like short workshops, seminars, expert talks and telephone consultations.
  4. Undertake advocacy activities towards increasing HCWs’ interest in HIV/AIDS care provision.
  5. Maintain presence in the strategic activities of National AIDS and STI Control Program (NASCOP) and other stakeholders in addressing HIV/AIDS in Kenya.

A key outcome of the project was sustainable provision of innovative training of providers in management of HIV&AIDS cascaded down to levels 2 and 3 health facilities.

The Kenya Paediatric Research Consortium (Keprecon) is a Non-Governmental Organization set up to promote Paediatric Research, Care, Training, Mentorship and Advocacy for better health of children in urban and rural communities.
