Maria grazia fiori - italy (Humanitarian medic)
“Humanitarian Medic is an innovative training course, peculiar in its structure and organization because it provides all the basic knowledge to face and deal with particular situations in the area of disaster medicine. This knowledge is transferred also by exposing students to professional, technical and emotional challenges during simulation exercises and real life scenarios, presented during the Master course.”
Annet Alenyo Ngabirano - uganda (emdm)
“As a national health advisor in disaster medicine, I had the huge responsibility of advising on the management of disasters and I quickly realized that my fundamental medical training had not prepared me to face disaster situations. EMDM was simply eye opener for me and gave me a family of disaster medicine specialists willing to support me.”
marco antonio becerril ruiz - mexico (tdmt)
“I was at the hospital at the very time the earthquake struck. The hospital got damaged and we had to evacuate. Many buildings were destroyed, people are trapped and we have patients coming in. I’m impressed but happy we had a quick and efficient response. However, we’re running out of material and staff are doing extra shifts... We’re getting tired. The civil population is helping with the search of trapped people and many have brought us food and supplies. The TdmT course at CRIMEDIM did a lot! I helped in the evacuation during the earthquake and the immediate logistics of setting up the hospital areas in the parking lot.”
Daniela Sacchetto - Italy (PhD)
"The International PhD in Global Health, Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Medicine gave me an incredible opportunity to grow my research skills in a challenging field like disaster response. A number of major challenges exist for disaster research, starting from the highly adverse environmental conditions and stressful context, the difficulties to collect data, the need to not hinder the operational response, the attention to the ethical issues common to all research human subjects, but its contribute can change the outcomes for the affected populations and the healthcare providers. Combining my daily work with the PhD gave me the opportunity to carry out some important research projects during both the disaster and the recovery phases, with interesting results and exciting points of discussions. The knowledge acquired, the people I met and the competencies I developed during this PhD enriched me from a personal and professional point of view, helping me to be more efficient in my daily work on behalf of people in need."
