Mission

Pharmacovigilance and hospital acquired infection control - International Summer School

was born from a desire of cooperation between an Italo- American excellence

consortium, involving the Sbarro Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine

(USA) and the Pharmacological Risk Unit Medigenia (IT).

Chief of the initiative is prof. Antonio Giordano, head of the US Research Institute, a

world-renowned scientist and recently awarded of the ‘Grand Hippocrate’

Prize.

The Summer School was founded with the goal of providing an advanced scientific

training, which is essential to enable the participants to succeed and compete effectively

in healthy fields.

Program

The program promotes intercultural and professional dialogue approach and the

fulfillment of individual potential active in the context of a multidisciplinary dimension.

The Summer School will be held at the Sbarro Institute for Cancer Research and

Molecular, Philadelphia (USA).

It is divided into three days full time, 5 to 7 August 2013, during which will be

discussed the aspects that concern pharmacovigilance and its implications in Good

Clinical Practice, as well as the increasingly topical. and thorny problem of hospital

infections.

Expectation

The educational cut given by the scientific committee encourages advanced research

‘forma mentis’, thus providing not only what is purely notional, but a top class approach

centered on patient care as a unique individual. The young participants will acquire,

through the simulations of clinical cases and ex-cathedra lectures, an increasing ability,

decision-making autonomy and self- assertion in each own scientific reality.

Official language will be English.

Applications and fees

Admission decisions to the School are based on the totality of available information

about each applicant, and a careful evaluation of the candidate’s past accomplishments

and future promise. We have no mechanical shortcuts or substitutes for careful

consideration of each applicant.

The maximum number of participants is 25.

Candidates will be selected among the students enrolled in the last academic year of the

Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, Biology/Biotechnology and Pharmacy, specializing/ed

in medical areas as well as physicians, biologist and pharmacists graduated no more

than 5 years coming from EU Countries.

The cost of participation in the 'Pharmacovigilance and hospital acquired infection

control- Summer School' is 1,500€ and includes the training material, the use of the

library and ISCTE service facilities, certificate of attendance (with EBM credits) coffee

breaks, lunch catering, the Gala Dinner and Philadelphia’s city tour.

It's possible to join a full package, which includes the travel and accommodation full

board in Philadelphia (total cost 2,500€).

Participants may also apply for Summer School scholarship (750€ each one) fully

filling the Application Form.

Applications will be accurately sized up and within 5 day from transmission every

participant will receive a notification about acceptance or not.

To make effective the application after acceptance, the participant must pay the fee
