Get Ready for Learning
Welcome to our Fundamentals of Implementation Science Programme, which will introduce users to the science of implementation in the context of non-communicable disease programmes for low- and middle-income settings and vulnerable populations in high-income settings.
The programme is free to access and includes preliminary reading, seven modules of specially curated content, and the option for self-certification on completion.
It takes nine hours to complete the core content, plus additional time to complete quizzes, further reading, and reflection.
