- Articulate your philosophy of engagement as it pertains to your work with the Impact Fellowship. Specifically discuss:
- Why should I engage?
Engaging with the belief in the potency of education, I advocate for leveraging AI to grant healthcare workers in Sierra Leone’s PHUs access to essential knowledge. This initiative empowers them to enhance community care, emphasizing the importance of accessible healthcare education for all, regardless of location or educational background.
- How must I engage?
To effectively engage, prioritizing accessibility, inclusivity, collaboration, continuous improvement, respect for cultural context, and ethical considerations is crucial. This entails ensuring that educational content is easily accessible to all healthcare workers, irrespective of their location or background. Additionally, it involves fostering a collaborative learning environment where healthcare workers actively participate, rooted in a commitment to continuous improvement, cultural sensitivity, and ethical practice in delivering accurate, relevant, and transparent educational content.
- With whom must I engage?
We’re actively working with different parties involved in healthcare delivery in Sierra Leone, such as healthcare workers, local authorities, community leaders, and possibly international organizations or NGOs present in the region.
- What kinds of challenges, opportunities, and approaches should I care about?
Challenges: Handling cultural sensitivities, confronting language barriers, and ensuring technological reach in remote locales.
Opportunities: Nurturing sustainable healthcare practices, exploiting AI to fill healthcare education voids, and empowering local communities.
Approaches: Involving participatory design methodologies, and adopting community-driven decision-making.
- How might I uphold the core principles of ethical engagement that were discussed in class?
Respecting the independence and privacy of healthcare workers, ensuring their voluntary and informed participation, and maintaining confidentiality of their personal information are crucial aspects of ethical engagement. Additionally, providing accurate and culturally sensitive educational material is essential. It’s equally important to be transparent about the project’s objectives and potential impacts, solicit feedback from all stakeholders, and address any worries or ethical issues that arise.
