PREPARE project’s Postgraduate Education Course
21 March 2018 - 23 March 2018
Calea Victoriei, Romania
The PREPARE (Preparing for (Re-) Emerging Arbovirus Infections in Europe) project is running a post grad course which aims to improve participants’ knowledge of the identification and management of arbovirus (arthropod-borne virus) infections and outbreaks at local and European levels.
Course topics will include a review of arboviruses of importance to Europe, including endemic and travel-imported viruses. This will include an overview of symptomatology, diagnostics and interpretation of laboratory results and an update on prevention, vaccine and treatments for these viruses.
The course will also include an overview of surveillance systems, European organisations, laboratories and clinical networks involved in surveillance, control and outbreak response and practical sessions covering serology interpretation, case scenarios and outbreak response exercises. The course will be delivered by a range of European experts on arboviruses, through a dynamic mix of presentations, case scenarios and outbreak exercises.
The target audience would be 20 – 30 doctors, nurses and laboratory staff from South / South-East Europe who might be involved in the identification, diagnosis or treatment of patients with arbovirus infections.
