Virtual Global Faculty – The African Institute of Biomedical Science and Technology
The AiBST Virtual Global Faculty (VGF) was established to provide the African Institute of Biomedical Science and Technology with teaching and mentorship support for its MSc programs. AiBST will be offering two MSc programs, MSc in Genomics & Precision Medicine and MSc in Pharmaceutical Medicine, starting in 2020. It will do this through a joint initiative with the Chinhoyi University of Technology (CUT). The two programs have been approved by the Zimbabwe Council of Higher Education (ZimCHE).
The VGF is composed of leading experts from leading academic institutions and the biopharmaceutical industry, thus suitable for the provision of translational biomedical training. The role and responsibilities of the VGF will be as follows:
