JCU - School of Public Health

Caring for the world's troubled
An intensive course for students interested in working in crisis and emergency situations commenced this week at JCU. Refugee Health is an intensive block subject run by JCU's School of Public Health in association with the international humanitarian aid organisation, Doctors without Borders. Forty-five medical and non-medical professionals are part of this two-week intensive course being held in Townsville.

"Students come from across Australia and various parts of the world to attend the course and hear expert lecturers provide both theoretical and practical skills for working with refugees and internally displaced populations", said the course coordinator Ms Tambri Housen.

The course covers the social, humanitarian and political dimensions of service delivery with accountability also being a priority. It also investigates the ethical and security dilemmas confronting workers today.
