Studying at KIT

Learning never stops The Covid-19 pandemic has made us acutely aware that we are all connected and strong health systems are of utmost importance. We have seen how already stretched healthcare systems in many countries have been facing challenges to deliver basic services. This highlights the need for well-trained public and global health professionals, now, more than ever.

With a multidisciplinary team of researchers, educators and advisors, KIT Royal Tropical Institute has over fifty years’ experience training professionals in global health who have lasting impacts on health delivery in their home countries. Our training programmes respond to current global health developments and are known for their practical application, multidisciplinary approach and interactive design.

Our beautiful building is normally home to a vibrant international community, working, teaching and sharing knowledge about different public and global health issues. However, at the height of the pandemic, we temporarily adapted our courses so that our students could follow them safely from home.

In-class teaching at KIT is following all the necessary measures to ensure everyone’s safety. KIT is closely adhering to the regulations from the Dutch authorities, the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the World Health Organisation. Therefore, should the situation not allow for face-to-face classes, we can revert to online teaching.

At KIT, we are more committed than ever to empower a new set of global health leaders on their professional journey. We are equipping them to better face new and existing health challenges and doing everything we can to make sure that learning never stops.

Students and alumni Health professionals from all over the world attend courses at KIT. Some classes have as many as twenty nationalities. Students come from a range of disciplinary backgrounds. Typical profiles are doctors, nurses or health managers working in hospitals, ministries of health, NGOs and other organisations.

Online courses are taught through a combination of live presentations using virtual platforms, virtual classroom discussions, group work, and selfpaced activities to be done at home. Interaction is very much part of KIT’s teaching methods, so we also ensure a high degree of participation in our e-learning courses.

Covid-19 If the corona situation does not allow face-to-face learning, a number of courses will temporarily be taught virtually so they can be followed safely from home.

What they all have in common is their engagement in, and commitment towards, improving health.

What alumni say about us

“

As a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer from the US, I was looking for an MPH programme that allowed me to learn from the experts in the field: those who actually originate and work in the local contexts most in need of development help.

KIT was the perfect fit for me. While the KIT professors are experts in the various domains of public health, to me, the true beacons of knowledge in the MPH/ICHD programme were my fellow students. I learned so much from them; how their countries worked, rural versus urban challenges, corrupt realities, cultural and social views, and so much more. Not only did I get to constantly learn about my colleagues’ experiences, realities, and what shaped their views, I also got to learn a lot about their culture by simply working with them in groups. Thanks to this programme I’ve learned countless skills that contribute to my current job on a daily basis.”

Lorena Gonzalez, US, Peru, MPH Development Manager for the Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights

“

There is no doubt that my KIT MPH experience marked a milestone in my professional development and life post-MPH. Since my graduation, I have worked for major donor funded disease control programs in Nigeria where we have used scarce resources to push back the spread of HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

I feel so honoured to be among those making this difference in the public health landscape of my country, Nigeria. I presently work with KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation, a Dutch NGO, which I feel deepens my ties and affiliation to the Netherlands! My time at KIT certainly gave me the knowledge, skills and confidence to do the work I do now.”

Student testimonials

“

ICHD at KIT integrates knowledge from different disciplines; from epidemiology to health policy, planning and human resource for health to research and field trips among several others to advance the expertise of students to improve the health of people. KIT provided me the opportunity to interact and network with students from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds as well as lecturers who are making great strides in different fields of public health across the world and so you ultimately learn from the experiences that are shared in the classroom. I have learnt to look beyond theory in analysing health challenges in my daily work in other to be able to provide innovative, practical and context-specific solutions to health problems.”

Evelyn Amoako from Ghana, MPH Head of Institutional Public Health, St. Dominic Hospital

“

My time at KIT has not only given me growth in Public Health understanding and skills but much more also the appreciation of the constant exchange of culture. Following the MPH/ICHD and being able to learn through the eyes from an African or Asian perspective, gave more value to the course than I first realized. I liked the open communication with the facilitators and the space in the sessions to ask critical questions. KIT became for me a home away from home. Studying my MPH at KIT was one of the best decisions I could have taken.”

Iline Ceelen from Belgium and Switzerland, MPH Background in midwifery, working as a Medical Coordinator for Médecins Sans Frontières

“

Studying the MPH/ICHD at KIT was the best experience I ever had. The facilitators at KIT were so knowledgeable and supportive and I liked the interactive teaching. Fellow students from 23 different countries also helped me to understand different cultures as well as to tackle public health issues in various ways. The course has enhanced my theoretical and practical knowledge and skills, which I am using in my work now to advocate and promote girls and women’s health rights and improve their health status. I am passionate to contribute in changing the society and make world better place for women to live in.”

Manju Pandey from Nepal, MPH Background in Nursing, working as a Project Manager for CARE International in Nepal

Student testimonials

“

As a nutritionist, I chose to pursue a Master in International Health to expand my knowledge in public health and global health issues. Work experience prior to the course was important to build upon my strengths and overcome some weaknesses. The theoretical and practical learnings are balanced to improve both knowledge and skills. I particularly deepened knowledge in infectious diseases and developed sound research skills. I feel more confident professionally thanks to the training. In addition, the programme design is adapted to young professionals, the learning topics are diverse and taught by a variety of lecturers which helps sustaining interest throughout the course.”

Nora Hobbs from France Nutritionist, UN World Food Programme

“

As a nurse in the field of migrants health I worked for the UN Migration Agency (IOM) in many countries, among others Ethiopia,Jordan, Kenya, Haiti, Libya. After 15 years I took the decision to study a Master’s programme to broaden my knowledge. My enrolment at the KIT and the Master in International Health (MIH) helped matching my extensive field experience with the theory.

I followed the core course of this Master’s programme at KIT in Amsterdam, and the rest via distance learning. After my graduation I rejoined IOM in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh with Rohingya refugees as the health programme manager. I benefited tremendously from the knowledge acquired during the MIH. This Masters programme empowered me with the knowledge to perform better.”

Master Programmes

Netherlands Course on Global Health and Tropical Medicine (NTC) The Netherlands Course on Global Health and Tropical Medicine (NTC) provides essential preparation for health professionals such as medical doctors, nurses and midwives planning to work in low- and middle-income countries.

The NTC can be taken as a stand-alone course or as the core course of the Master of Science in International Health (MIH). In the Netherlands, the NTC forms part of a post-graduate training programme for physicians leading to a diploma as MD Global Health and Tropical Medicine (AIGT).

For more information, go to: www.oigt.nl.

The NTC is organised by KIT Royal Tropical Institute in collaboration with the Vrije Universiteit Medical Centre (VU) in Amsterdam and the University Hospital of the University of Amsterdam (UvA).

Course Objectives After the programme you will be able to: • Critically reflect on the collection, analysis and appraisal of qualitative and quantitative data relevant for the improvement of health and health care equity.

• Identify and analyse interrelated determinants of health and major health concerns of populations in a trans-disciplinary perspective in low- and middle-income settings and on global level.

• Propose sustainable improvements of health systems addressing inequities and considering diverse inter-cultural settings as well as social, legal and ethical responsibilities.

• Describe the role, decision-making process and impact of global health policy actors.

• Collaborate and clearly communicate in a multidisciplinary and multi-cultural setting.

15

Programme Structure The NTC is divided into five modules:

1

Introduction Module This module aims to help you to develop learning and communication skills needed for the course and for your future practice. You will examine cultural and international contexts.

2

Social Determinants of Health The factors that have the most significant influence on health are known as social determinants of health. Most of the key determinants lie outside the direct influence of health care, such as gender, education, culture, employment and environment. This module provides you with an overview of how these determinants have an effect on the health of people and of the policy tools devised to address them.

3

Health Needs and Responses You need knowledge and skills to address the most important diseases and health problems occurring in low- and middle-income countries while having access to limited resources. This module will provide you with an overview of health topics including communicable and non-communicable diseases, maternal and child health, and sexual and reproductive health. Issues related to the epidemiological profile, as well as prevention, diagnosis, and management of the different health topics are covered. The management includes both the clinical and public health perspectives. Because of the limited diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities available in many low- and middle-income countries, a syndromic approach is often emphasised.

4

Basic Research Methods This module familiarises you with quantitative and qualitative research methods and how to critically appraise evidence provided in literature. Basic principles of statistics, epidemiology and study design are discussed here to answer questions such as: which determinants and/or risk factors of diseases are most important to address? Which intervention has the most impact? A socio-cultural perspective on health, illness and health care, medical anthropology and sociology is used to examine questions such as why patients do or do not seek health care in time. This module also offers participants the chance to experience an outbreak investigation simulation.

5

Health Systems Health systems around the globe are facing a wide range of challenges like population growth, epidemiological and demographic transitions, migration, pandemics and a more assertive demand for quality care. At the same time, many countries already have trouble achieving access for the poor while containing costs. The emphasis in this module is on the practical implementation of health programmes by the public and private sector (NGOs) and the organisation of health care across the continuum of

16

care including health promotion, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, palliative care and rehabilitation.

Student testimonials

“

I can put in practice the knowledge I gained during the NTC now in Liberia. The interaction with people from different backgrounds and especially people from different cultures was very useful.

It allowed me to adapt quickly in a new environment when I came to Liberia to support the Ebola Outbreak response. The topic of health systems was also useful, since I am using it to support the restoration of health services and rebuilding of health system after Ebola outbreak in Liberia.”

Jeremias Naiene, from Mozambique, MIH Currently working in Liberia with the United Nations Mission for Ebola emergency response WHO

“

The course in Tropical Medicine (NTC) proved to be very useful during my experience in both Tanzania and Ethiopia. As midwives we have a quite narrow field of work; mainly obstetrics/ midwifery. With the NTC, I learned to think of a greater perspective and recognise illnesses like for example tuberculosis and malaria earlier during pregnancy.”

Anna Ruth Kuipers from the Netherlands, NTC Working as Senior Midwife, Ethiopia, background in Education in Midwifery

“

The NTC is a course which has been a great help in expanding my view on health related issues in a broader perspective. The interactive modules and working together with colleagues from various cultural backgrounds, really helped in obtaining a bigger in-depth understanding of the complexity of development aid and healthcare in different settings. The knowledge and skills I gained helped me to understand underlying problems in my work as a tropical doctor, thereby allowing me to initiate and successfully complete projects with significant impact. Among other things, I started up a neonatal intensive care unit and I contributed to reorganizing the supply chain of the hospital I worked in.”

Master Programmes

Core Course in Public Health The core course in Public Health is a three month course that prepares health managers to use a public health approach to address the problems in country, taking into account epidemiology, health system aspects and broader social determinants of health. The course will prepare you to solve complex public health problems systematically. The course can be taken as a stand-alone course or as part of the (part-time) Master of Science in Public Health.

Programme Structure The course consists of three parts:

1

Epidemiology and Statistics Epidemiology is the discipline concerned with describing how disease and ill-health is distributed in populations – in person, place and time – and also tries to answer the question as to why this distribution occurs and how interventions may influence this distribution. Statistics deals with collecting, summarizing, presenting and interpreting data, and using them to develop and test hypotheses. Outbreak investigation is discussed during this module.

2

Social Determinants of Health The factors that have important influence on health are known as determinants of health. Most of these determinants lie outside the direct influence of health care, such as gender, education, culture, employment and environment. Understanding these factors is important to effectively design and manage interventions in the public health sector. It is also essential in mitigating the effects of global threats like pandemics.

3

Health Systems and Policy-Making You will look into the health needs of people, the consequent demand for services and the organisation of health service delivery. What are the factors that influence utilisation of health services and peoples health (care) seeking behaviour, especially the poor and other underprivileged groups?

How do health systems remain functioning in unexpected situations like pandemics? This module discusses health systems: their boundaries, actors, functions and goals.

Monitoring and Evaluation in a Dynamic Health Environment 16 – 27 August 2021 (3 EC) € 2,650 (tropEd € 2,120), eligible for OKP € 2,220 (Early bird: if paid before 1 May 2021) Monitoring and evaluation skills are essential for working in a dynamic health environment.

Sectoral plans at national, regional and local level require insight to allow informed decision making, planning and to facilitate implementation. This course will provide participants with a deeper understanding of the role that M&E plays in all aspects of the health system. Course participants will examine contextual changes such as the new aid architecture and multi-stakeholder environments and its implications for M&E. Emphasis will be put on identifying appropriate M&E and information management approaches to be used in developing countries. Rational data collection for optimal usefulness while imposing minimal burden on staff will also be highlighted.

Finally special attention is given to making M&E systems equity aware and to balance the ethical aspects of an evaluation.

The M&E course was a great eye opener in the role of M&E across all the elements of the health system. The key concepts that I was introduced to such as the theory of change have been of tremendous help in conceptualization, implementation and evaluation of programs in my day to day work. The classes were engaging, practical and were greatly enriched by the wide experience of the lecturers and interaction with students from different backgrounds and cultures.”

Disease Management Control Strategies for Communicable and Non-Communicable Diseases 12 April – 3 May 2021 (4,5 EC) € 2,210, eligible for OKP Disease control refers to a broad package of strategies for controlling diseases, from primary prevention, health promotion, and health legislation to screening for early detection, treatment and rehabilitation. In order to choose the right strategies it is necessary to understand the context in which a disease arises, the factors contributing to its spread and the natural course of the disease. In this course, a number of communicable and non-communicable diseases (NCDs), are used as models to demonstrate different aspects and principles of disease control. A variety of diseases are discussed, such as malaria, tuberculosis, cancer and mental health, in addition to nutrition and refugee health care. The course stresses the One Health approach and the relevance to disease control of emerging diseases like COVID-19. Part of this course is carried out through interactive learning in our virtual learning environment.

GIS for Global Health 21 June – 2 July 2021 (3 EC) € 2,090 (tropEd € 1,660), eligible for OKP € 1,660 (Early bird: if payment made before 29 March 2021) Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide tools for planning and monitoring of health interventions and disease control activities.

E-learning Good Epidemiological Practice: Implementation and Analysis of Global Health Studies 7 – 11 December 2020 (1,5 EC) € 750 (tropEd € 500)

NEW

Over the past decade, two movements have profoundly changed the environment in which global health epidemiologists work: research integrity and research fairness. On one hand, questionable research practices may lead to spurious findings if studies are ill-designed, poorly implemented, inappropriately analysed or selectively reported. On the other hand, local communities, institutions and researchers are too often side-lined from the formulation of research questions, the design and implementation of studies and the dissemination of findings. This course aims to provide students with the skills and knowledge needed to critically appraise and reflect on epidemiological practice in global health, as a basis for high-quality impactful research.

“

This course was an opportunity to widen my knowledge on how to handle NCDs and to get an update on control strategies for communicable diseases. The module consisted of lectures, group work, self-study and online study. I had a wonderful time in Amsterdam, met people from different parts of the world with different experiences related to communicable and noncommunicable diseases.”
