Overview
The Infectious Diseases (Distance learning) programme at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine draws upon the School’s long tradition in the study of clinical and epidemiological aspects of infectious and tropical diseases.
Education
Providing a broad understanding of infectious diseases, together with developing strategies for their control and treatment, the courses will be of particular relevance to in-service health professionals, such as doctors or laboratory staff who either wish to acquire new knowledge in infectious diseases or update their current expertise.
These programmes are aimed both at recent graduates who wish to pursue an advanced degree, and at people who took their first training some time ago and wish to update their knowledge in this rapidly evolving field or who wish to change career direction.
