Summer Institute Courses in the Global Infectious Diseases Program
The Global Infectious Diseases Program is built around two core courses that address topics of high global significance. One course focuses on vector-borne and zoonotic infections (IID232); the other core course focuses on infections transmitted through water and food (IID233). These courses are designed for students, public health officers, clinicians, and scientists who are seeking advanced training in infectious diseases that disproportionately affect individuals in resource-limited areas, especially in issues of control and prevention.
