We’ve organised four onboarding sessions to the Champions programme in August 2025 where we will discuss the Oxford iHealth Champions programme, what the programme is about , the Champion’s journey and its requirements, and the accreditation/badging process for milestones and achievements. This event is open to all Oxford IHTM alumni. Registration is required to be able to attend.

In mid-October 2024, Proochista Ariana announced the Oxford iHealth Champions programme - a re-brand of earlier efforts to encourage and support community-building among our Oxford IHTM alumni towards continued learning, collaboration, and impactful action along the lines of open and reproducible science. Nine months on, we are happy to welcome our latest batch of iHealth Champions from Oxford IHTM Class of 2025.

By the end of July 2025, we are expecting delivery of a compute server/workstation capable of running large language models (LLMs) efficiently. This machine will allow for local LLM deployment to support development and use of artificial intelligence workflows in-house. This is part of Oxford IHTM’s efforts to support its current students and its alumni in learning and applying modern tools for global health projects.
