The chapters of the e-learning content are :
- actors of the pre-analytical phase, hygiene and disinfection, waste disposal, occupational risks
- capillary sampling, venous sampling (serum/plasma, anticoagulants, sampling order), centrifugation
- other samples (blood cultures, urine, stool, punctures)
- common pre-analytical actors, factors controllable/unavoidable
- pre-analytical issues by branch (hematology, hemostasis, bacteriology, genetics, biological fluids, cyto and histopathology)

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.
Future students are often unaware of the levels required when they begin their studies at the Faculty of Science. This is particularly true in secondary but eliminatory subjects (for example mathematics for a bachelor’s degree in biology). This situation leads to hesitation during the first year and the possible reorientation towards other studies. To remedy this situation, the CAFE-S program intends to provide the students with the tools and necessary framework to follow a program of self-assessment and self-study centered on mathematics. These are indeed essential for studies in chemistry and biochemistry, biology, pharmaceutical sciences, as well as earth and environmental sciences. The CAFE-S program will then be gradually extended to the other secondary disciplines of the bachelors offered by the Faculty, then to the main disciplines. Self-assessment and self-study in mathematics has been implemented thanks to a cooperation agreement signed by the Faculty of Science with an international academic website, OMB+, hosted by the University of Aachen.

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 lead- ers in Gerontology Geriatrics”, called
“e-TRIGGER” for “e-TRaining In Gerontology and GERiatrics”
IAGG has commissioned HSeT to create a public web- site (https://iagg-fge.org/) and a training website for IAGG attendees and trainers.
Free monthly 3-hour online training sessions are organized by the IAGG FGE, with the contribu- tion of the Regional IAGG Academy in Geriatrics and Gerontology.
Each session consists of three one hour training including:
• an introduction by the President of the regional Academy
• a 20-minute keynote lecture by an expert in Gerontology or Geriatric medicine
• a 10-minute case report presented by a trainee (health care profes- sional or MD) participating in the program
• a 20-minute discussion between the experts and the trainees.
• a quiz to test the knowledge acquired by the trainees during the session, so that their acquisition of the topic studied in that session may be validated.
• an evaluation of the session by all the trainees and attendees

Deshnee Achary, a student of the International Master of Vaccinology (IMVACC) class 2021, working at Pfizer vaccines in Johannesburg South Africa, received an award from the former President of South Africa Thabo Mbeki and The University of South Africa Principal and Vice-Chancellor (VC), Professor Puleng LenkaBula, who honored her for the work she has done in vaccines for the past 17years.
In her thank you speech she spoke about empowerment through education, highlighting the importance of using the education for the greater of mankind “When you are educated you are empowered and encouraged, and you have the power to change your life, your community around you and most importantly you have the power to educate others.”
She also touched on the topic of vaccine resistance and hesitancy and how fake news miscommunication can lead to people making bad decisions about their health which leads to disease, increased burden on the healthcare system and increased mortality.
