About M-HIRST
The Malawi HIV Implementation Research Scientist Training (M-HIRST) program has successfully built the foundation for implementation science at Kamuzu University of Health Sciences (KUHeS) since its inception in 2015. Through integration of implementation science training into the Master’s in Global Health Implementation and establishing Implementation Science as a research theme for COM, the project has laid the foundation for a pipeline of IS researchers at masters, doctoral, and post-doctoral levels. The majority of our alumni go on to work in faculty and research positions at KUHeS and UNC Project-Malawi. This emerging multi-level group of implementation scientists will ensuring sustainability of IS teaching and research programs at KUHeS and in Malawi.
