This paper describes learning design models for traditional medicine. Traditional medicine practice employs an array of resources extracted from plants, animals, and minerals, to maintain well-being through treating, diagnosing, or preventing ailments. The practice also uses spiritual therapies, manual techniques, and exercises, as well as a diverse range of health practices, approaches, knowledge, and beliefs. The scientific capacity building initiative addressed a major question; How do we bridge the Naturopathic Medicine educational gaps? Forming stepping-stones to a Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathic Medicine, as well as a postgraduate pathway into Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry.

A comprehensive and in-depth literature review study was launched at the African College of Health, an independent e-learning initiative, in May 2018. The study involved the systematic and thorough review of thousands of online articles across various disciplines, which were then categorized and analyzed based on recurring themes. The primary objective of this extensive review was to extract relevant and high-quality educational content, aiming to enhance the e-learning platform and contribute to the development of more effective and engaging educational resources. The findings were expected to play a crucial role in shaping the future direction of the project, ensuring its alignment with current trends and addressing gaps in educational content. In May 2018, an extensive literature review study was launched at the African College of Health, an independent and forward-thinking e-learning project. The study involved a rigorous and comprehensive review of thousands of online articles, drawing from a wide range of disciplines and sources. These articles were carefully examined and categorized according to key thematic areas, with a focus on identifying and extracting educational content that would be most beneficial to the platform's development. The main goal of this large-scale review was not only to collect relevant information, but also to analyze current trends, gaps, and opportunities in educational resources within the health and e-learning sectors. By extracting valuable insights, the study aimed to support the creation of high-quality, evidence-based materials that could be integrated into the platform’s curriculum. The results of this in-depth review were expected to influence the overall direction of the project, fostering the creation of more engaging, accessible, and impactful learning experiences for the platform's users while ensuring the content was both current and comprehensive.
In the preoperative diagnosis of thyroid nodules, FNA continues to be the first-line method with good outcomes. But in addition to FNA, other techniques that have proven useful in making the right diagnosis can also be applied, depending on the clinical circumstances. In this situation, assessing thyroid nodules involves the collaboration of endocrinologists, pathologists, radiologists, and geneticists. In order to offer patients with thyroid nodules with the best care possible, additional research should be done to determine the optimal method of combining all of this data.
