The HELP Summer Institute offered by JHSPH is a collaborative program with the International Committee of the Red Cross. The H.E.L.P. course offers humanitarian workers an intensive course in humanitarian assistance, public health principles and disaster epidemiology. The course will be held at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland. Instruction will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday for the duration of the course.
 
The HELP course in Baltimore was held this year from 6-24 July and had 39 participants. This year’s course was highly successful, bringing together world experts in the health of displaced populations with interested students from five continents.
We are not accepting applications at this time.
Each year for the past 10 years Dr. Burnham and Dr. Meng Ken Lim from the National University of Singapore teach a one week on medical emergencies in displaced populations in Singapore each December. This  course attracts not only graduate public health students in Singapore but from surrounding countries in Asia as well.
Johns Hopkins helps support Japanese Red Cross in offering the HELP course in Japan. Dr.  Burnham recently taught in the 2009 course at the Red Cross International College of Nursing in Fukuoka. The course attracts students from East and Central Asia.
