JHPIEGO Publishes French Version of the Preservice Implementation Guide
(May 2003)

JHPIEGO's "Preservice Implementation Guide: A Process for Strengthening Preservice Education" is now available in French. The guide describes the step-by-step process used to create a positive environment on the national level for strengthening medical, nursing, and preservice education, and the steps taken on the institutional level to improve the existing curriculum and its implementation.

The guide (also available in English) contains an introduction to the preservice strengthening process, as well as a description of its four phases:

1. plan and orient; 
2. prepare for and conduct teaching; 
3. review and revise teaching; and 
4. evaluate teaching.

Working together, and with the assistance of this guide, national authorities, administrators, staff of teaching institutions, and technical and donor organizations will be able to improve the basic education of healthcare providers. Strengthening both content and teaching practices will ensure that those who graduate are, in fact, well prepared for their role as healthcare providers. The full texts of the guides are available at:

• English http://www.jhpiego.org/resources/pubs/psguide/psimpgden.pdf 
• French http://www.jhpiego.org/resources/pubs/psguide/psimpgdfr.pdf
