The Training
and Research Support Centre (TARSC), and the University of Zimbabwe
Department of Community Medicine (UZ-DCM) are inviting applications
for the Winter School Public Health short course-training programme
to be held at UZ Health Sciences Building from 8-12 July 2013
The programme
is aimed at building capacities for people working particularly
at district level in health-related work, but who may not have had
the benefit of formal training in health. The course thus aims to
include people from local government, from health related services
and sectors working in areas related to health at district level,
from civil society and from community leaders with roles in health.
The course aims to build an understanding of public health and of
health systems, particularly at district level. The course will
cover:
- Principles
of public health and epidemiology
- Major public
health issues, including HIV and AIDS, TB, Malaria
- Elements
of health systems, health financing, essential drug supplies and
human resources for health
- Zimbabwe’s
health services at national, district and primary health care
level
- Community
and non health sector roles in health
The course will
involve teaching, presentations and mentored assignments. Certificates
of attendance will be given for the course. Delegates will be required
to pay a course fee of US$300. The fee covers the course registration,
the course sessions, materials, lunches and teas. It does not cover
accommodation which applicants will be expected to organise for
themselves. The course fee is payable in full on acceptance of registration.
There are a limited number of scholarships for sponsorship of full
or part costs of the course.
Interested persons
should contact The Programme Coordinator, Winter School Public Health
Short Course Training Programme P O Box CY 2720 Causeway Harare,
fax 263-4-737 220 email admin@tarsc.org
AND tarsc@ai.co.zw and give
