You can download a pdf file giving a short overview of all courses at the following website: http://www.klinikum.uni-heidelberg.de/fileadmin/inst_hygiene/tropenhygiene/PDF/Teaching/short_courses_2007.pdf
Our target group includes MDs, nurses, pharmacists, policy makers, project / programme planners, managers, social scientists, educators, consultants, health workers, etc. Participants have been sent before by e.g. GTZ, Medair, Doctors without Borders, MOHs, NGOs etc.
All courses are accredited within the international network of higher education called tropEd, which offers a master programme in International Health, but the courses are open for individual further training. The diversity of disciplines, experiences and countries represented in class, adds to the fruitful learning environment.
Using current theories, case studies and practical exercises, we continue to put stress on enhancing the skills and abilities of participants which can be put into practice in their daily work. Lecturers usually have both an academic background as well as working in International Health.
Upon successful completion of the course, participants receive a certificate of attendance by the University of Heidelberg.
Most courses are organised as two-weeks intensive courses which cost EUR 1.500.The course fee includes course materials, but not the accommodation, insurance or other personal costs during the stay. Unfortunately, we cannot offer any scholarships at present.
Early registration is advisable to ensure a seat in the courses as well as allowing time for all organisational matters.
