Within the project, the MSc Epidemiology Postgraduate Online program is used as a basis for a concise certification track program, through a set of 6 core distance learning courses covering the essential principles of study design, data analysis and clinical epidemiology. Additionally, students follow online courses on big data (developed by UCL), appropriateness of health care utilization (developed by UAB), development of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (developed by UI and CEEBM), and prognostic research (developed by Julius Center and the Dutch Cochrane Center), all important areas in health research and policy. Elevate supports online course development facilities in all Indonesian partner institutes, including the creation of a modern video learning center for CEEBM and Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital. Finally, senior staff of the European partner institutes are sent to provide a “teach-the-teachers” program and to supervise candidates’ research.
