  • Academic Background: Introductory Coursework in Public Health, Health Informatics, Biomedical Sciences, or Computer Science.
  • Technical Skills: Basic proficiency in data analysis software (e.g., Python, or Excel) and familiarity with web-based research repositories.
  • Core Competencies: Foundational understanding of health systems, basic bio-statistics, and working knowledge of digital literacy tools.

Pedagogical Approach

  • Project-Based Learning (PBL): Hands-on engagement with real-world OHSL case studies and collaborative biomedical projects.
  • Team Science & Open Collaboration: Group exercises modeling international, cross-institutional research networks.
  • Flipped Classroom: Self-paced review of core informatics literature followed by active design workshops, system mapping, and peer discussions.
  • Blended Digital Practice: Direct interaction with digital health tools, open repositories, and ePortfolio creation for continuous reflection.

Learning Outcomes

  • Analyze Open Health Frameworks: Evaluate how open-source data architectures and international research grids drive health interventions.
  • Apply Health Informatics Tools: Utilize open-access databases and biomedical informatics tools for data aggregation and collaborative research.
  • Design Collaborative Workflows: Formulate team-science project plans that align cross-institutional workflows, ethics, and data-sharing protocols.
  • Synthesize & Communicate Findings: Crate and curate a digital OHSL ePortfolio demonstrating evidence-based research, systemic health solutions, and reflective practice.
