Joint Clinical Research Centre

For Excellence in Medical Research, Training and HIV Care

Besides scientific research and patient care, JCRC is a capacity-building institution, which aims at training all cadres of health care workers in HIV/TB care. Currently, JCRC has developed quality training tools and approaches and an innovative support supervision system that is linked to the Uganda Ministry of Health guidelines. In collaboration with the University of Wisconsin, Infectious Disease Institute (IDI), Baylor College in Uganda, Case Western Reserve University, and MSH, JCRC provides clinical case-based training on management of TB/HIV co-infection to Ugandan health workers. With support from the University of Wisconsin Center for Global Health, JCRC offers an internationally certified continuing medical education program and clinical coaching for all its health workers.

The various training programs currently running and concluding at JCRC include the International Clinical Operational and Health Services Research (COHRE) training programs, The AIDS Care Research in Africa (ACRiA), The African dialog on HIV AIDS (ADAC), The Center for Social Science Research on AIDS (CeSSRA), The Forgarty International Centre (FIC) International Research Scholars (ICRS) and Fellows (ICRF) program, The International Extramural Associates Research Development Award (IEARDA), The WHO Knowledge Hub capacity building program as well as several other regional training programs.
