Upcoming Workshop: Health Promotion for Populations in the Periphery" Workshop

From September 14-20, 2014, the Heidelberg Institute of Public Health and the Heidelberg University Alumni network organize a special workshop relating to matters of health of underprivileged populations. Participants in the workshop �Health Promotion for Populations in the Periphery� are expected to share their experiences and to actively contribute to the program. Applicants should hold a degree in international health, preferably of Heidelberg University, and be evidently interested in and working on the health improvement of disadvantaged populations. Heidelberg Alumni U.S. (HAUS) is pleased to offer two stipends to participants from the US.

Applicants must have studied or worked in Germany for at least a month. For more details and the program please go to http://www.alumni.uni-heidelberg.de/en/seminare_summerschool2014.html
Complete applications can be submitted to [email protected].

Application deadline: June 30, 2014.

The goal of the seminar is to discuss the situation of people with limited access to health services and to explore strategies that can improve the insufficient healthcare for underprivileged populations in developing countries as well as in industrial nations. Limited access to adequate medical services could have many causes, like distance for people in a remote rural village, or lack of cash money, obligations to care for family, or the opportunity to leave home. For a critically ill patient, the periphery may start in front of the door of the hospital to which access is denied because treatment cannot be paid. The work shop is designed to bring people with a wealth of experience in this area together to share their ideas and expertise. The workshop is generously supported by the DAAD.
