Teaching

The CHiPH is committed to developing its teaching strategies, and welcomes students from all disciplines and all parts of the world. The Centre runs a history and health study module in January/February each year, which provides an introductory survey of the history of public health and health services in the UK, and internationally. The module also provides training in competencies necessary for the UK Faculty of Public Health examinations. The module is available to in-house M.Sc students, and also as a short course. It runs in the morning on Thursdays and Fridays over 5 weeks. Further details

To book a place as a short course, please visit the School's registry pages.

A distance learning version of the module, entitled 'History and Health' is also available. Details of the course text book Public Health in History by Virginia Berridge, Alex Mold and Martin Gorsky can be found here: http://www.mcgraw-hill.co.uk/html/0335242642.html

The module is available to distance learning students and to In-house students. Students on some In-house courses may be able to take this as a component of their Masters Degree. It can also be taken as a stand alone course. http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/study/cpd/dlmodules/phm215.html
