Nigeria Malaria Modelling Fellowship
CURRICULUM
We built our curriculum around solving real-world problems using conceptual frameworks. You are encouraged to bring practical challenges you’re facing into the malaria space.
All fellows will attend a 3-day orientation before starting classes. This “NMMF Boot Camp” prepares you to learn in an online, graduate-level program. It ensures that everyone has the same foundational learning skills and program expectations. You’ll learn by doing, completing a series of activities that challenge you intellectually while developing your facility with online tools and methods. During the Boot Camp, you will also:
- Meet instructors and fellows
- Learn to use the online learning tools and access fellowship resources
- Complete individual and team learning activities using the online Learning Management System
- Develop a personal study plan that aligns with your aspirations
