TEACH-VIP
TEACH-VIP is a comprehensive injury prevention and control curriculum which has been developed through the efforts of WHO and a network of global injury prevention experts. The course material is designed around a classroom instruction model, with PowerPoint slide presentations and supporting lecture notes which address a wide variety of topics relevant to injury prevention and control. In September 2004 the material went into a pilot testing phase involving 23 settings worldwide and a wide variety of training audiences. WHO has now made this training material freely available for settings wishing to provide instruction in the area of injury prevention. The training materials and a variety of other capacity building resources are available in CD-ROM format and are supported by a 32-page users' manual. The actual training materials are structured around 60 lessons, each lesson taking approximately one hour of classroom time to teach.

Curriculum overview
The curriculum consists of 21 "core" lessons and 39 "advanced" lessons, of one hour classroom time each. The core lessons consist of a broad overview of the fundamentals of injury prevention. The advanced lessons are organized into 13 modules; each module containing 3 lessons. The advanced lessons cover the topics of the core module in greater detail, with more emphasis on the lessons that cover specialized context areas in injury prevention and control. This modular structure has proven to be effective in communicating complex health related topics.
