About the Program

You’ll participate in immersive field visits, examining issues such as emerging infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and the health impacts of climate change. These hands-on experiences and interactive learning sessions will challenge you to think critically about the many factors that influence health outcomes across different domains. Throughout the program, you’ll also explore the cultural and historical context of the Czech Republic through guided tours and discussions with local experts.
