Graduate Program on Public Health-Special Program of Implementation Research on Tropical Diseases 

 

Implementation research is a growing field that supports the identification of health system bottlenecks and approaches to address them, and is particularly useful in low- and middle- income countries where many health interventions do not reach those who need them the most. Special Program in Implementation Research on Tropical Diseases is a two years international master program that was started in 2014 and taught in English. This program is embedded under the International Master Program in International Health. The goal of this scheme is to enhance postgraduate training capacity and boost the number of researchers in low and middle- income countries.
