LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

At this time of unprecedented population movements and conflict across Europe and the world, migration is everywhere, and growing fast. In the context of forced migration in the Mediterranean, this course examines how culture and society impact health needs, health-seeking behaviour and health care quality for migrants, with a focus on the key role of integration as migrants aim to live healthy lives but often have particular health needs. Communication skills will be a major focus of the course. The central, western, and eastern Mediterranean routes of forced migration will be emphasized, with faculty and practitioners drawing from experience in primary health care, living with chronic disease, screening strategies working with interpreters, and mental health and well-being in Spain, Italy, Greece and Turkey. Students will gain practical skills to contribute to a more integrated Europe and world.
