They will visit the National Institute of Health’s Surveillance System (SIVIGILA), the National Health Observatory, National Cancer Institute, and non-governmental organizations working with communities which health has been affected by the conflict, for example. They will hear directly from people involved in the conflict, such as soldiers, ex-combatants, victims and representatives from rural communities, and discuss the ways in which the conflict has affected their lives, and the challenges they have to face when navigating the Colombian healthcare system.

We are looking for applicants who are enthusiastic, hardworking, and keen to learn more about conflict, peace and health in Colombia. Candidates do not need prior knowledge of Colombian or Latin American healthcare system, but should demonstrate an eagerness to engage in lively debate during the course tutorials and site visits.  The program is open to students from a range of medicine, public health, humanities and social science subjects, and is aimed particularly at those with an interest in public health and development in Latin America.
