The number of
schools which have introduced IMCI in their pre-service
teaching in the Region keeps increasing. The Regional Office
has proposed a number of criteria as guidance to the initial
selection of teaching institutions which have expressed
interest in introducing IMCI elements in their programmes.
It is recommended that a country embarks on the pre-service
training initiative only after the completion of the IMCI
in-service Early Implementation Phase, during which the IMCI
guidelines and approach are field-tested in a few areas and
revised according to the findings. In-service and
pre-service interventions are therefore complementary.
Top
The main
criteria for the candidate school are:
-
Extensive
involvement of faculty in the introduction and
implementation of the IMCI strategy in the country;
-
High
commitment of school senior academic staff to the
initiative;
-
Receipt of
an official request from the University Chancellor or
Faculty Dean to the Ministry of Health for assistance in
this area (orientation for staff, planning etc.);
-
Location
of the school in an area in which the ministry of health
is already implementing IMCI in health facilities.
Starting with
a leading academic institution in a country has the
advantage of setting an example and paving the way for other
schools.

concerned medical schools, but it is now expanding also to
schools for allied health professionals.
