Chronic diseases (CD) are the cause of 70% of all global deaths. Organ transplantation (tx) is the only treatment with long term perspectives for patients who suffer from end stage organ failure (ESOF), induced mostly by CD. Asia has the lowest rate of organ tx and the greatest growth rate of people entering chronic and ESOF. A recent analysis shows that education is one of the drivers to improve the number of well-trained specialists, and thus the delivery of care to patients with ESOF. ODISSeA proposes suitably adapted and accredited postgraduate curricula in organ donation for specialists. The program will start with a preliminary Training for trainers’ program for future local trainers to ensure the efficient implementation of the postgraduate program in their universities during and after the project lifecycle. Together with a pool of 40 future students and EU experts they will design, validate and develop the Postgraduate Training Program in Organ Donation (30 ECTS) based on a student centred lifelong learning strategy. The program will include face to face and online components, on three levels of difficulty, from level 1 (basics/awareness) consisting of multimedia educational capsules, motion graphics & storytelling, to level 2 (medium), with webinars to boost debates and engage participants, and finally, level 3 (advanced/high), where participants will be encouraged to continue with in-depth online interactive modules (self-training) and local seminars.On-the-job improvement projects will help them apply the knowledge & skills acquired to their professional contexts and propose improving plans with measurable outcomes. The project will involve different stakeholders to maximize impact on HEI systems in SEA, on direct program beneficiaries: 40 trainers, 280 students, 400 attendees in the informative events as well as indirect ones: patients, work peers, hospitals, organ donation systems, with the ultimate goal of improving the delivery of care to patients
