Faculty Development Course Description

The mission of Angkor Hospital for Children is to provide nurturing pediatric care, medical education and community outreach.
Since Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC) opened its doors in 1999, the quality of care provided for the families we serve has steadily increased largely through the contributions of foreign volunteers training our staff. Now the next step needs to take place – where Cambodian physicians are not just skilled clinicians but inspiring teachers able to pass their knowledge and experience to the next generation of providers. This Certificate in Faculty Development has been created to help AHC’s senior doctors build further on their teaching skills and foster an atmosphere of learning within the hospital.
