PhD program in International Health
4 February 2013

The CIHLMU-PhD-Program International Health combines health related research in the widest sense, and development cooperation. Special focus lies in educating young researchers to become in their turn educators within developing countries of the next generation of health professionals. Not only acquisition of knowledge for their personal interest, but to import knowledge to areas in need and multiply it there should be one leading work ethic while being a PhD-Student at CIHLMU. This motive is complying with global development strategies that have recognized the human resource crisis as a key factor in the deterioration of health systems in developing countries. From this stance arises a certain focus on candidates from developing countries, in order to supply their home countries with competent and responsible researchers and health professionals. However, the PhD-Program is open to anyone sharing the interest in health-related issues in the field of development cooperation. Therefore we encourage all professionals of any nationality to become part of the CIHLMU-PhD-Program, people working in the field of health or in health related areas, that are willing to improve local research and health situations both through manpower and knowledge.

Requirements

The PhD-Program in International Health at CIHLMU is designed for health professionals, and those working in related fields. Principal requirement will be a completed university degree in medicine, or a master degree in a health related field in the broader sense (e.g. Economy with focus Health Economy).
