As for me, I completed my bachelor’s in public health and worked at several health initiatives including PAHO in Washington DC, where I focused on inequities in maternal, infant and adolescent health across the Americas. Currently, I’m completing my medical degree in Milan, Italy. I believe it is key for health workers to have an overall understanding of disease distribution and prevention.

Hi everyone! My name is Corine and i'm from the Netherlands currently living with my family in Nepal. I am really excited about this course, although I also feel a bit unsure about the statistics part. :) I have two young daughters who I am fulltime homeschooling at the moment so timemanagement will be fun. In the nearby future i hope to be involved in research with focus on physical activity (I'm a PT) and palliative care.

I'm planning to do 2 or 3 modules each year and it will probably take me 4 yrs to complete the MSc degree (anyone else aiming for the 4 yr route?). Looking forward to get to know you all!
