Training
Passing on knowledge is part of the Institute's mission: training, here in Haiti, the next generation of reproductive medicine professionals.
An official partnership
The Institute has signed a memorandum of understanding with Haiti's Ministry of Public Health and Population to train young Haitian health professionals.
Why we teach
An institution that keeps its knowledge to itself builds nothing durable. For more than fifteen years, the members of our team have trained young obstetrician-gynecologists, in Haiti and abroad.
To train, finally — and this is perhaps what gives the whole undertaking its real meaning. As early as 2010, I brought together a group of young Haitian obstetrician-gynecologists and had them trained in Haiti; they are today among the country's specialists. I have also been teaching for more than thirty years, at the National School of Nursing, at the medical faculty of Université Notre-Dame d'Haïti where I chair the department of gynecology, and at Duke University's Global Health Institute. We want these skills not to stay concentrated in the capital, but to reach the country's other departments over time.
Clinical mentorship
Young professionals learn side by side with the specialists, in consultation rooms and in the laboratory.
Reproductive medicine
Ultrasound, stimulation, insemination, IVF: techniques and protocols are taught inside the Institute itself.
Ethics and rigor
Consent, confidentiality, honest results: the training passes on a practice as much as a standard.
