About Master in Malattie Infettive e Tropicali

The Simulation Center is a key aspect of the Malattie Infettive e Tropicali programme, giving students the chance to hone skills in emergency situations. Students will get clinical rotations at several partner institutions, including the IRCCS Istituto Clinico Humanitas, Humanitas San Pio X, and the Centro Cardiologico Monzino. The curriculum goes beyond local healthcare, fostering international collaborations. These collaborations are supported by the university’s international exchange programme, which encourages students to pursue research and training abroad, accessing clinical and academic resources in diverse settings and enhancing their understanding of global health challenges. The program is designed to develop clinicians who can handle a wide range of infectious diseases, both locally and in tropical and resource-limited areas.
