Welcome to the Centre for International Health web site! The Centre for International Health of the University of Bologna was created in 2006 within the Department of Medicine and Public Health. The main field of interest is global health, approached through a multidisciplinary framework – grounded in the theory of the social determinants of health – that encompasses the fields of medicine, public health, medical anthropology, social and political sciences, and law.
Consequently, the applied research methodology relies on both quantitative and qualitative approaches. CSI main activities are in the domains of research and training, both in and outside the Faculty of Medicine. The working methodology is as much horizontal and participative as possible, involving students, researchers and professors from different fields.
CSI main goals are:
1) to develop research and training activities in the global health field at a local, national and international level, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach; 2) to promote the introduction of new subjects and teaching methodologies in the curriculum of medical students, in postgraduate courses and in continuous medical education, related to international and intercultural health; 3) to facilitate students and health professionals to undertake field experiences aimed at researching on the role and impact of the social and cultural determinants of health. The main focus of CSI research and training activities is on the social and cultural determinants of health and on their impact and consequences in terms of health inequalities worldwide, recognizing that a multidisciplinary approach is crucial in order to analyse and understand the complexity of health issues in a global perspective. The teaching activity particularly reflects this vision. The Italian medical students' curriculum does not presently include international health and related subjects, and teaching in this field is left to the good will of few professors, often as an extracurricular activity. The Centre has been created also to help fill in that gap, acknowledging the present urgent need to prepare health professionals ready to face the problems of a world of growing inequalities. The multidisciplinary approach relies on a joint effort with scholars coming from different fields (e.g. sociology and anthropology), and is meant to provide students with the necessary cultural and methodological skills to work together with other professionals, in the search for new and more appropriate tools to face global health problems. |
