The Institute for Social Medicine, Epidemiology and Health Economics (Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin) and IPPNW Germany offer a one-week full-time course in Global Health challenges in Trauma and Health, with a specific focus on topics around the climate crisis, displacement and violent conflict.

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.
