This programme is particularly useful for physicians who have trained in medicine in a developed country, but intend to practice in the tropics. It is also useful for physicians already practising in developing countries who require an update on infectious, parasitic, and other health problems, and for doctors in developed countries who need to diagnose and manage imported infections. 
It is recognised as fulfilling part of the requirements for the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene Certificate in Travel Medicine.
This is a highly intensive course, with lectures, practical exercises, tutorials, and a range of seminars that provide opportunities for small group work. Much of the practical work in the Dagnall Laboratory is hands-on, backed up with a range of demonstration materials, and facilitated by academic and technical staff. 
You will cover four main components:
  • Clinical tropical medicine and child health
  • Parasitology
  • Vector biology
  • Public health.
