Overview
What you will study
The Global Health Primer for Doctors course offered by London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine will provide a foundational knowledge base, teach relevant critical skills, and generate a network of clinicians to prepare you for future work within the field.
This is a fully online course, with a mix of asynchronous activities, as well as live sessions which we strongly encourage you to attend.
Much of the teaching has been designed to be interactive, to enable you to (virtually) meet other students on the course and to develop networks whilst gaining fundamental learning for a foundation in global health.
