— Open Online Learning · Afghanistan & Beyond

Training the health workforce where outbreaks actually happen.

CROWN delivers practical, field-tested courses in epidemiology and public health — built by practitioners who have run surveillance systems and outbreak responses across Afghanistan’s provinces, not adapted from a generic curriculum.

— Why CROWN

Designed around how the workforce actually learns

Built by field epidemiologists

Every course is written and reviewed by practitioners with direct experience in FETP training, outbreak investigation and AMR surveillance.

Learn on your own schedule

Modules are short, self-paced and available on demand, so clinical staff and students can train around shifts and rotations.

Certificates that track progress

Course completion, quiz results and certification are tracked through the LifterLMS dashboard.
