Equity: Learning opportunities are available and accessible to all regardless of location, their level of education, their role in  health, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, or age.

Collaboration: The creation of a culture for health requires a shift from linear pathways of education to an interlinked ecosystem of stakeholders actively supporting the shift towards the new norm of lifelong learning for the mutual benefit of achieving health goals.

Participation: Faculty and students should actively participate and promote lifelong learning. All participants have a voice to prioritize needs, preferred methods and channels and are enabled to engage in sharing their ideas with each other.

Excellence: Excellence is pursued proactively so that approaches, materials, resources, experts, processes, assessments, evaluations, certifications, accreditation are of the highest quality.

TUFH Academies consist of courses that are either directed to professionals, in both the educational and healthcare field, or to students, more precisly the International Student Training and Exchange Program (iSTEP).

The courses for professionals are targeted for faculty or health systems professionals who want to compliment their clinical training with leadership skills and competencies. As well as to anyone who want to learn from global thought leaders on priority topics and populations.

Student Courses are targeted for undergraduate and graduate students who want to learn with an international student body on non clinical subjects that are related with societal impact.
This is done through the International Training and Student Exchange Program (iSTEP). Member Universities can sign up to participate on an annual basis.
