Short Courses at iTCB

 

Health threats in populations require global and international preparedness and effective responses. The International Teaching & Capacity-Building (iTCB) unit of the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology at the BNITM contributes to this through education and capacity strengthening initiatives in Africa, the Middle East, and Central and South Asia.

Epidemiology provides important tools for the assessment and response to health threats in populations. EPICID - Epidemiology and Control of Infectious Diseases in Outbreak Settings is a tropEd accredited 3-week intensive course on the principles and methods of epidemiology and the way these inform the control of infectious diseases in outbreak settings. The course is available annually since 2018 and uses interactive, simulation-based exercises, as well as laboratory- and computer-based practical sessions to complement the theoretical content.

Well-functioning and sustainable laboratory services are key components of strong health systems and crucial for improving public health and research capacities of countries. Lab-SPHERE - Laboratory Systems and Public Health in Resource-Limited Settings is a tropEd accredited 2-week intensive course offered annually since 2019 aimed at describing the role of laboratory systems in strengthening health services and research capacity with a special focus on low and middle-income countries (LMICs). The emphasis is on explaining the structure and functions of laboratory systems and their effective and efficient management. Moreover, areas where laboratory systems overlap and/or complement health systems are being considered. The course uses interactive, simulation-based exercises, as well as laboratory- and computer-based practical sessions to complement the theoretical content.
