SAFRI 2016 4

This has been a particularly significant year in the existence of the Sub-Saharan Africa-FAIMER Regional Insti-tute (SAFRI). Several significant changes occurred during the last year:

• Submission of an application for the registration of a post graduate diploma in health professions educa-tion and leadership through the Foundation for Professional Development.

• Launch of the SAFRI squads.

I want to make use of this opportunity to thank the SAFRI board for all their hard work and commitment. We can be proud of what we have achieved in SAFRI. I stand in humble awe and gratitude of each of you. Your commitment, care and dedication is an example to all in health professions education. You have enriched my life and the lives of each SAFRI fellow and faculty who crossed your paths.

We reached the critical mass required to initiate formal discussion around establishing a FAIMER Regional Institute in South Africa.

In November 2006 Prof Marietjie de Villiers, then vi-de-dean Education at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Stellenbosch University, hosted a meeting that was attended by all the South African-based FAIMER fel-lows, some FAIMER fellows from other African countries, key individuals in Health Professions Education in South Africa, and Bill Burdick, co-director of the FAIMER insti-tute and Vice-President of FAIMER. The conclusions at that meeting were:• The time was right to start a regional Institute based

in South Africa, but for Southern Africa, and the name SAFRI (Southern Africa FAIMER Regional Institute) was agreed on.

• SAFRI should not be affiliated with any single tertiary institution, due to the political climate and the exclu-siveness associated with that. Also on a practical level, faculty would not be released to teach on a programme affiliated with another institution.

• SAFRI will be interdisciplinary and applicants from all the disciplines based at Health Sciences / Dental / Medical and Nursing Faculties / Schools would be considered.

The thought of SAFRI probably started the mo-ment Vanessa Burch and Dan Kayongo attended the first FAIMER fellow-ship in 2001, just after 9/11.

By 2006 there were nine FAIMER fellows from South Africa.

SAFRI took her next important step when Vanessa Burch, in February 2007, went on a short sabbatical at the FAIMER Institute in Philadelphia, USA, where she met the recently-appointed Director for Regional FAIMER Institute, Ralf Graves. They focused on conceptualising a SAFRI programme.

In May 2007 SAFRI was constituted as a voluntary organisation at a meeting attended by the nine FAIMER fellows mentioned above, plus the two 2007 FAIMER fellows from South Africa, Enoch Kwizera and Gboyega Ogunban-jo, Christina Tan, a FAIMER fellow from Malaysia visiting South Africa at the time and Bill Burdick.

The founding members and first council were:

1. Dan Kayongo (chairperson)2. Francois Cilliers (vice-chair)3. Jacqueline van Wyk (secretary)4. David Cameron (treasurer)5. Vanessa Burch (executive co-director of the fellowship)6. Gboyega Ogunbanjo (executive co-director of the fellowship)7. Juanita Bezuidenhout8. Enoch Kwizera9. Ben van Heerden10. Marietjie van Rooyen11. Elizabeth Wasserman

The SAFRI fellowship was launched in March 2008 at Monkey Valley in Cape Town with an intake of 13 fellows.

After two years at Monkey Valley we relocated to The Southern Sun Newlands, where we have been since.

The not-for-profit SAFRI com-pany was established in 2013 in response to the requirements of South African tax laws. Due to its small size, the executive commit-tee of the board manages both the company and the SAFRI fel-lowship.

whAt DO we DO?

The Sub-Saharan Africa-FAIMER Regional Institute (SAFRI) offers a fellowship program that can be completed in 17 months, with an option to continue working with a SAFRI faculty mentor on an individual scholarship project for an additional seven months. The core fellowship program is comprised of three residential sessions with two distance learning sessions between them. The residential sessions are held over a period of 7 consecutive days (per session). The first two are held one year apart. The third (final) residential session occurs approximately four months after the second residential session and includes attendance at the annual conference of the South Africa Association of Health Educationalists (SAAHE).

The themes addressed in the SAFRI fellowship programme are leadership, project planning, research and scholarship development and educational methods. Curriculum topics include student assessment, good teaching practices, pro-gramme evaluation, distance learning, leadership, change management, project design and management, conflict man-agement, educational research and scholarship, and qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis.

SAFRI’s distance learning sessions focus on the mentoring of Fellows, network building, and the exchange of ideas through participation in an accredited, certificate-bearing distance learning programme. Fellows are also required to design and implement a faculty development workshop at their home institution during the second distance learning session as part of their professional portfolio. As a part of the distance learning sessions, Fellows are provided with the opportunity to complete a series of online courses aimed at further development of their skills in research, management and assessment.

Over the course of the program, each Fellow designs and implements an education innovation project at his or her home institution. Project summaries and results are shared by Fellows in poster presentations during the second resi-dential session. Each Fellow also prepares an abstract of the project for submission to the SAAHE conference.

The distance learning modules are working well. The fellows are able to log into the SAFRI portal, access their coursework notes, upload their tutor marked assignments and download their marked tutor marked assign-ments and certificates. The portal runs smoothly under Lianne Keiller’s watchful eye. The discussion forum on the portal is not being used, but rather the list serve.

All applications are reviewed electronically by three reviewers from the pool of SAFRI alumni. Allocations of reviewers is done by administrative staff to ensure that no application is reviewed by someone from the same institution. Reviews are done online and make use of the FAIMER selection and scoring criteria. Once all the applications are reviewed, a selection panel reviews the scores and comments and make the final selection based on the available budget and any predetermined strategic criteria (e.g. institutions or countries who have never applied).

The need for additional activities to maintain the SAFRI community of practice, to expand the current offering and to provide an environment where continuous learning can take place resulted in the development of a post graduate diploma in health professions education and leadership and the launch of the SAFRI squads.

The rationale of the SAFRI Postgraduate Diploma in Health Professions Education and Lead-ership is to develop suitably qualified leaders in Health Professions Education (HPE) to meet the increasing complexity of HPE in a fast and continuously changing educational landscape. This qualification responds to the increasing demand for individuals with specialized knowl-edge and leadership skills to best educate the 21st century health professionals and to ensure the delivery of quality of health care in Sub-Saharan Africa.

This qualification is aimed at health professions educators and practitioners who wish to fur-ther develop their leadership, management and pedagogical knowledge and skills in a global and inter-professional context. The programme is intended to catalyse the emergence of HPE leaders; introduce the graduates to a community of practice and build their capacity in educational research.

SAFRI is planning this online qualification as both an extension of the SAFRI fellowship (for those interested) and for open enrollment. SAFRI fellows will be able to apply for recogni-tion of prior learning and be accredited for up to 50% of the programme’s credits. SAFRI fellows will be able to do this diploma for free. Open enrollment students will pay for the programme.

The application to have the diploma registered is complete and we are waiting for feedback. In the interim, work on developing each module has started and the modules will be made available as they are completed.

The SAFRI squads are the brainchild of Heike Geduld and Liz Wolvaardt. The aim of the workgroups or squads is to develop a number of expanded opportunities to sustain fellowship involvement in the SAFRI community post completion. As from 2017 it will be compulsory for all new Fellows to sign up in a group for a period of at least one year post completion. All others (including Faculty) are volunteers. There are five squads and each squad is led by two to four core members; past Fellows will be invited to participate and all graduating fellows will be asked to sign up for at least one year post completion. The squads will work within the recommendations from the SAFRI management team with regards to priorities and can suggest projects.

The squads are as follows:

Leaders: Lianne Keiller, Heike Geduld, Sara Brair, Michael RowePurpose: To advance the awareness, design and development of technology in order to promote the

vision of SAFRISuggested activities: • Explore the use of technology to build / enhance the community of practice• Understand the needs of the SAFRI community with regards to technology and develop interventions

The audit report for the financial year 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2015 was received from the SAFRI appointed auditors Boshoff Drotsky

A budget of R1 780 000 was approved by FAIMER to support the programme for 14 returning 2015 fellows and 20 new fellows in 2016. This budget was made up of a grant from FAIMER of US$97 000 (R1 455 00 at an exchange rate of 1US$=R15) plus R325 000 from the accumulated surplus. The annual cost of the programme per fellow was calculated to be R52 500, or R105 000 for the fellowship.

The actual expenditure for 2016 was R 1 571 568.00, R208 432 less than the budget. Areas in which the budget had exceeded the actual expenditure were accommodation and conference fees (R90 908) payment for management of the programme (R42 288), and transport (R30 136)

A budget of R1 657 600.00 for 2017 has been approved by FAIMER made up of a grant of US$97 000 (R1 311 440 at an expected exchange rate of 1US$=R13.52/) and R346 160 from SAFRI reserves. The exchange rate improved slightly between the time of calculation (1US$=R13.24/) and an actual transfer amount of R1 284 686 was received.
