The course was launched at UP on 29 February and has now been rolled out nationally to other tertiary education institutions. The online course has no time limit, so students can take as much time as necessary to complete the course work. The course has been designed by top medical educators, so the course is of a high quality. For an additional fee, students can obtain a Higher Certificate in Management, which is a professional qualification, through the online course. Even if students don’t want to pay for the official qualification, they will still have access to the knowledge that the course provides, explains Nel.
Nel hopes that providing free access to the training material will have a domino effect on the healthcare sector in five to ten years time. Students wishing to get involved in the project can contact Nel on health.management2016@gmail.com. Students wishing to sign up for the course should log onto www.MPConsulting.co.za.
