[edit | edit source]These training modules are developed by the West African College of Surgeons and the College of Surgeons of East Central and Southern Africa for the Surgical Education Learners Forum.
The Surgical Education Learners Forum, or SELF, develops and evaluates training modules for health care workers in low-resource settings. SELF training enables anyone to independently learn and self-assess specific skills. SELF training modules are free-to-use and publicly available.
SELF is an evolution of the Global Surgical Training Challenge, which funded the development of surgical training modules that allow practitioners to learn, practice, and self-assess specific surgical skills without supervision from a more experienced surgeon. The training modules are available for free on Appropedia.
