Courses organized by the program focus specifically on the relationship between forced migration and health. An emphasis is placed on quantitative and qualitative methods that are best suited to the assessment of health needs, and to the design and evaluation of health programs. Subject areas include an introduction to the relationship between forced migration and health, investigative methods in humanitarian emergencies, the psychosocial impact of forced migration, reproductive health among refugee and war-affected populations, and health and human rights for refugees. The program also organizes a weekly seminar series, where students have the opportunity to meet professionals in the field. Applicants to the Program on Forced Migration and Health must meet all of the regular requirements of the Master of Public Health program.
Admission is for the fall term only.
