Online learning
UICC has been supporting the continuing education of cancer control professionals through online learning since 2014.
Through its online learning offer, opened exclusively to UICC members, UICC aims to provide evidence-based knowledge on key focus areas related to global cancer control, as well as opportunities to strengthen skills relevant to those working in the civil society and advocacy spaces.
Always attentive to the needs and feedback of its community, UICC’s online learning offer has evolved over the years and is now embarking on a new phase: the transition to UICC Connect, UICC's new knowledge sharing and community platform.
Following the general launch of UICC Connect in September 2024, UICC's online learning offer will progressively migrate from the current dedicated eLearning platform to UICC Connect, so to ensure UICC members benefit from seamless access to tailored online courses, as well as community engagement through one platform.
Formats and delivery models
Online courses are developed in collaboration with subject matter experts and made available in self-guided format. On a regular basis, select courses are also offered as cohort-based learning, whereby participants advance together over a set timeframe and access additional live, synchronous learning components.
Self-guided courses are available on-demand on the dedicated UICC courses section on UICC Connect. Cohort-based courses are accessible by application and hosted in special 'course rooms' set-up on UICC Connect for the duration of the course.
