Le présent texte permettra aux lecteurs de comprendre certains éléments qui sous-tendent les concepts de la responsabilité sociale et de l’imputabilité des facultés de médecine en regard de leur réponse aux besoins des sociétés qu’elles doivent servir et de prendre connaissance de quel...ques-uns des facteurs qui déterminent le niveau d’adaptation des curriculums aux besoins de la population/communauté.

                                                                According to the World Health Organization (WHO), sub-Saharan Africa has only 3% of the world’s health workers to cater for 11% of the world population, bearing over 25% of the global disease burden (WHO, 2014). With a steady increase in reported cases on the African Continent, the current COVID-1...9 pandemic threatens to overwhelm our already taxed health infrastructure. It is, therefore, imperative to take serious and urgent measures towards disease management and monitoring especially as the need for self-quarantine and contact surveillance rises.
In view of the infrastructural and resource gaps, technology should be considered for remote management of healthcare deliver to patients during this period. As it is abundantly clear, even countries with more advanced healthcare infrastructure and resources have struggled to treat COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients during this pandemic.

the African region, the African Palliative Care Association (APCA) has developed a competencybased core curriculum framework for use in introductory training on palliative care. The curriculum ... is based on the APCA Standards for Providing Quality Palliative Care Across Africa to ensure that  care providers are trained to the appropriate competence for their cadre and level of skill. This  curriculum therefore aims to facilitate the development of the best basic skills and attitudes required  for the delivery of palliative care services that meet the desired standards of palliative care. The  curriculum incorporates theoretical, practical, mentorship and supervision components that are  critical to the effective application of knowledge in practice.

The time t...o put these tools into action is now.
The curriculum has separate tracks for district/community leaders and for first responders (community volunteers and workers) at the community level.

Internationalizing higher education is considered to be a major goal for universities in Germany and many medical students aspire to include international experiences into their academic training. However, the exact meani...ng of “internationalizing” medical education is still poorly defined, just as is the possible pedagogic impact and effects. Against this background, this article presents the special track curriculum on global health (in German: Schwerpunktcurriculum Global Health, short: SPC) at Justus Liebig University Giessen, which was established in 2011 as a comprehensive teaching program to integrate international perspectives and activities systematically into the clinical years of the medical curriculum
