Training in Tropical medicine for Medical doctors and nurses with higher education / bachelor’s degree/ :

  1. The concept: Recent trends in the more frequent appearance of tropical diseases in EU and other industrialized countries due to increased travel and the migration pressure from developing countries, prompted the Health Authorities to promote knowledge of health personnel on this field. The “market value” of such knowledge is on the verge of increasing worldwide due to the need to recognize such diseases in unusual places, countries, or to attend those patients in different missions or in migrant communities. Instead of organizing slideshows of tropical conditions and diseases, our cooperating institutes (UPMS), decided to organize onsite training course for medical doctors & nurses who are interested to discover a new knowledge and skill in a different culture, with different facilities, minimal resources.
  2. The structure:The onsite training course will last for nine weeks and will end with an examination. The course contains 180 contact hours and 90 bedside/laboratory practice with four external teaching, including one refugee camp. The course starts every day from Monday to Friday at 9AM till 13PM with lectures and 14-16 PM with clinical/laboratory practice. For the nurses participating at the course, a separate, interactive tuition is organized between 9AM and 13PM. The afternoon teaching session is common with the doctors. The course is accredited in Hungary with 50 CME points and accepted in other EU countries.
