GLOBAL HEALTH

Do you want to make a difference by improving global health? What are the existing global health challenges and what are the social and ethical issues involved? Look at health beyond the medicinal perspective and learn about health programmes that include more general initiatives.

The main objective of the course is to provide participants with a broad introduction to the principles and goals of Global Health, but also to provide knowledge that will enable students to participate in the further development of the field as well as partake in the provision of health services at hospitals and health centres in low- and middle-income countries. The course consists of three parts. The first focuses on issues of global health determinants, measurements and trends. The second part will focus on the biomedical and clinical aspects of the

diseases suffered by people in developing countries, whilst the third, and final, part will emphasize on collaborative efforts to improve Global Health.

Upon completion of the course, you will be able to:

• Identify major global health challenges

• Understand common global health terms

• Identify and describe social inequalities in health and their impact

• Diagnose and treat main diseases with global perspectives

• Design health programmes focusing on specific solutions as well as general initiatives

The summer school courses are part of AU Summer University and welcome Danish and international full time students, exchange students and free movers.
