WHAT IS HSET
HSeT is a non-profit organization that works with a network of leading experts from all over the world to develop online training programs in health and life sciences for teaching institutions.
HOW IT WORKS
Training programs developed by HSeT are delivered through institution-specific websites. They can be used to augment an existing curriculum or construct a new curriculum. They can be reviewed by learners in a self-directed way or in combination with traditional face-to-face teaching.
EDUCATIONAL CONCEPT
HSeT provides Customized On Line Training (COLT): training programs tailored to the needs of specific groups of learners as defined by the institutions themselves. COLT integrates novel pedagogical approaches and tools to map student’s individual progress at every step.

Annotated online resources containing illustrations, animation, links to literature and external web pages as well as clinical cases and key articles are studied. Progress is stimulated by quizzes and evaluations.
Blended online format with only two 0.5d hybrid face-to-face meetings per module (kickoff and return).

CAFE-S program
The Faculty of Science of the University of Geneva launches the CAFE-S program to optimize the orientation of future students. Shortcomings in disciplines such as mathematics often handicap students when they begin their studies at the Faculty of Science. They can also lead them to make poor career choices. In collaboration with HSeT, a new device aims to improve this situation.
eTraining in Gerontology and Geriatrics
The Federation of Geriatric Education (FGE) of the International Association of Geriatrics and Gerontology (IAGG) created in 2017, has decided to go online, with a new program aimed at “training the future leaders in Gerontology Geriatrics”, called “e-TRIGGER” for “e-TRaining In Gerontology and GERiatrics”.
IAGG has commissioned HSeT to create a public website (https://iagg-fge.org/) and a training website for IAGG attendees and trainers.
