National School of Tropical Medicine Diploma in Tropical Medicine Information Session

Monday, August 3, 2026 | 12:00 p.m. – 12:30 p.m.

As the COVID-19 pandemic has clearly illustrated, the borders that once held diseases in check have disappeared. Tropical diseases, once confined to certain geographic locales are no longer bound by borders. Professionals are needed in communities around the globe to diagnose and treat these diseases, which disproportionately impact the bottom billion – the world’s poorest people.

The Baylor College of Medicine National School of Tropical Medicine Diploma Course in Tropical Medicine will give you the knowledge, skills, and confidence to care for patients at risk for these diseases.
The Diploma in Tropical Medicine consists of three modules and lab practical. The course is accredited by the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. With this accreditation, participants who complete the course are eligible to apply for the ASTMH Certificate of Knowledge Examination (provided additional examination application criteria are met). This examination assesses and recognizes individual excellence in training and knowledge in clinical tropical medicine and travelers’ health. Passing this examination leads to the highly regarded CTropMed®-Certificate of Knowledge in Clinical Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health.

This 30-minute information session will be held virtually through TEAMS. Join: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/247466401327460?p=bGJHliH1oSEdVpZ79g.
