IPPNW Germany and the Institute for Social Medicine, Epidemiology and Health Economics (Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin) offer a one-week full-time course tackling Global Health challenges in relation to the Coronavirus pandemic. Specifically we will discuss how pandemic responses and policies are shaped by both a globalised economy and ethical considerations for a common good.
 
Objective
Theoretical analysis and practical relevance determine the course of our collaborative summer school. It allows joint analysis of complex interactions between globalisation and health. The focus will be on problem- and case-based and participatory learning. Input from experts, internet based research, manuscript analysis, group work, case-studies, presentations and excursions to projects are part of the overall programme. The course is relevant not only to medical students and public health students, but also to others working within health and health systems.

Speakers
Speakers come from national and international institutions of higher education. Persons with specific global health competence and experience are also part of the faculty.

Course structure
The course is taught in English. Lectures are held between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m, with a lunchbreak and two coffee breaks. There will be one or more social arrangements in the evening depending on the course participants’ interests and own requests.

We will update this website continuously during the next weeks and provide more information on the focus and topics of the 2022 Summer School. Applications will likely open in March 2022. It is probable that parts of the course will be taught through online formats, allowing the participation of international students and lecturers.
