Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Health Admission Guidance
The Professional Diploma in Tropical Medicine & Health (DTM&H) is an intensive, three-month, full-time course in tropical medicine and public health for physicians. The course combines practical laboratory work, a series of lectures and seminars and some limited clinical experience designed to provide doctors with the clinical and factual knowledge that will form the basis of professional competence in tropical medicine. It is designed for physicians who intend to work in the tropics, physicians with tropical experience who have returned for a refresher, or practitioners who may be working in non-tropical countries and who need experience in clinical parasitology, imported diseases and travel medicine.

The diversity of our students and staff is exceptional; staff come from 45 countries and our postgraduate students from over 120 countries and this provides a rich environment for students to learn. LSHTM alumni are now working in more than 160 countries; many former students hold prominent positions in health ministries, universities and international organisations throughout the world.
The academic staff teaching on the course, most of whom have lived and worked in the tropics, come from all departments of LSHTM and from many external institutions. The Hospital for Tropical Diseases provides the setting for clinical training; students should be aware however that bedside clinical teaching is not usually offered.
