Apply now for PhD-course on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in a resource poor setting

29 October – 2 November 2012 at University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

The course will focus on both clinical and public health aspects of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) in a resource-poor setting. The aim of the course is to enable the participants to understand key concepts across different disciplines within SRHR and furthermore to understand how the disciplines interlink. Understanding SRHR in a cross-disciplinary way is pivotal to ensure high quality research.

The participants will be introduced to the main frameworks for SRHR and to central areas of SRHR such as health systems in the context of SRHR, nutrition and motherhood, infectious diseases in reproductive health, non-communicable diseases and reproductive health, maternal and neonatal mortality, family planning including unsafe abortion and infertility, as well as reproductive and sexual rights. For more information on the course content please contact the course director.

Students earn 4.2 ECTS credits for this 5-day full-time course. The course will be conducted in English.
