Just-in-time (JIT) education: Basic concept & Goal The nature of disasters draws public attention! Larger events mean larger interest. JIT educational strategy seizes the opportunity of public interest to teach and find national and global expertise in hazards and risk information. Although it can be applied by any means of communication, the Internet is an efficient approach to provide educators with scholarly, user-friendly, low-cost, and online-offline training materials.

Supercourse & Health Diplomacy Dr. Margaret Chan: “Public health always wants a peaceful way forward. This is diplomacy” The Supercourse network is our diplomacy to gather public health scientists and professional from all corners of the globe together, from both developed and developing countries. We are practicing the diplomacy in a healthy way to educate people on global health!
