Within the Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam CGCH doctors are involved in the education of medical students in the Bachelors and the Masterphase. In addition, for more than twenty years, a multi-day course “Global Child Health” has been given to paediatricians and Doctors of International Health and Tropical Medicine in Training (AIGT). Outside the Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam CGCH physicians contribute to courses and training in Amsterdam, Leiden, Utrecht and Liverpool (England) and Blantyre(Malawi). In addition, the Amsterdam CGCH organises annual courses and summer schools for (para) medics. The aim is to further expand these educational activities in the coming years, including by offering new courses. Finally, the Amsterdam CGCH plays a central role in creating opportunities for paediatric registrars to work for at least six months in children’s wards in collaborating hospitals in low-resource settings. This offers much-needed paediatric support to local hospitals and allow registrars to develop GCH expertise.
