Empowering Medical Education in Underserved Regions
At CanHealth, our vision is to revolutionize medical education by providing digital learning opportunities to students in some of the world’s poorest countries, where the Gross National Income is below $4,000 per capita. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to use donor funds to subsidize medical education in regions like Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Ethiopia, and Peru—countries facing severe shortages of doctors and nurses amid rapidly growing populations.
Partnering for Impact
CanHealth partners with Interactive Health International (IHI) to provide CyberPatient, a virtual hospital where medical students and nurses treat 130 diverse patient cases anytime, anywhere. Like a flight simulator for pilots, CyberPatient offers immersive, hands-on learning that bridges theory and practice.
Breaking Barriers to Education
CanHealth partners with universities in underserved regions, providing free CyberPatient licenses at discounted rates. This removes financial barriers, giving students access to world-class training. Research shows CyberPatient enhances learning, building confident healthcare professionals.
A Collaborative Effort
Backed by the University of British Columbia, Vancouver Coastal Health, and a partnership with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, CanHealth advances global healthcare through CyberPatient’s innovative digital education.
Introducing CanHealth’s Latest Initiative
In 2024, we proudly introduced the Canadian Virtual Medical University Initiative (CVMUI), a groundbreaking online medical school. Designed for students facing barriers to in-person learning due to conflict, culture, or religion, CVMUI offers world-class medical education — empowering future healthcare leaders, no matter where they are.
