I am doing a lot of course development and teaching on Global eHealth including OpenMRS at universities of Leeds and Edinburgh and also co-developed a MOOC at MIT. We are in the final submission stage of a text book on Global eHealth that could potentially be share with OpenMRS students if linked in some way to the MIT course. There is also the work that Bill Bosl is doing in University of San Francisco. Looking forward to talking about this in Singapore. Regards Hamish ---

Thanks @hamish for replying to the thread. I will appreciate if you can be on a call where we can finalize and build a set of 3-month, 6-month and 12-month tasks for next year that can be presented to the community at the World Summit in Singapore in December. I’d also like to invite @surangak, @maurya, @levine, @jordan, @kwurst, @raod85 who have previously shown interest to develop training and education programs around OpenMRS. ---

Hi folks! We now have a place to propose sessions for OMRS15 in Singapore, and would like each strategic objective group to present each objective in a short plenary session.

i also want to remind people to fill in the doodle poll-- but we can also work asynchronous if people can’t join at those times in the poll. Seems like there is a lot of interest in this topic. I have also reached out to identify the resources for the HIT 10 by 10 program that the Veterans Health Administration developed, as the content is free. Will post as soon as i get the information back. ---

Based on the poll, it seems tomorrow (25-Nov-2015 at 9:00 EST / 14:00 GMT) is the best time to meet to discuss the objectives. I will send a calendar invite to all the people, particularly because I wanted @terry on the call. I will reach out to @levine, @jaghatise and @maurya separately since they are not able to make it on the call at those times. ---
