WE PROVIDE ACCREDITED ONLINE COURSES IN HEALTH CARE
Globally, there are significant
discrepancies in health, disease and
mortality.
There is a critical shortage of health
professionals in the global south.
What can we do to make knowledge on
health globally accessible?
Combining new technologies in an
increasingly interconnected world enable
us to share high quality knowledge.
Connecting health professionals
worldwide, overcoming geographical,
time zone, social and economic
limitations.

BOTH OUR HISTORY AND FUTURE LIE IN THE ACADEMIC
WORLD
• Elevate originates from the vision and inspiration of Professor Rick
Grobbee from the University Medical Center in Utrecht
• We are inspired by TecVirtual from the Monterrey Institute of
Technology and Higher Education in Mexico which offers Spanish
online courses on a massive scale
• Elevate is a corporate social responsible (CSR) initiative, targeting
both participants from low and middle income countries as well as
participants from the rest of the world
• A significant amount of our profits (if any) will invested in the
Elevate Global Health Trust, a charity for research in Global Health
• Our ambition is to be an internationally recognized,
high quality institute for online health education
