International Collaborations to Establish Family Medicine in Ethiopia

Abstract

Ethiopian, Canadian, and U.S. faculty collaborated to envision and prepare faculty to launch the first family medicine postgraduate training program in Ethiopia. Leaders employed principles of adult education to engage key stakeholders in a cascade of collaboration involving government, academic and community leaders, faculty, and trainees. Within six years, the first graduates were serving as new family physician faculty and the government approved expanding training to new sites.
