It is mainly related to the conflict in Syria, as well as recurring violations of human rights in other regions of the world. Widely relayed by the media, the unusual number of refugee applicants and the precariousness of their migration routes raise the question of the health risk. From the old concept of quarantine to the new paradigm of migrants' health, it is important to contextualize the screening measures, taking into account the epidemiology of communicable diseases in the countries of origin and of the regions crossed, the ruptures of access to treatments for chronic diseases, but also the impact of multiple trauma (war, violence) on the mental health of refugees.

It is a 3 year, part-time course, which is learner-centred and community-oriented. The aim of the course is to prepare students to use a multi-disciplinary approach to plan, implement and evaluate activities intended to solve public health problems. Throughout the course, students plan, implement and evaluate projects concerning health problems they have encountered in their work as health professionals. The curriculum includes individual and group work, discussions and seminars with teachers and students, and brainstorming sessions with specially trained facilitators. The students can thus identify and fulfil individual educational objectives while working on community-related health projects. Priority health needs of individuals and communities are thus the pivotal points of the novel approach to public health training.

L’originalite de cette formation tient a ses aspects novateurs en matiere pedagogique, a sa conception volontairement multidisciplinaire et multiprofessionnelle, ainsi qu’au fait qu’il s’agit d’une premiere suisse dans le domaine de la sante et de la formation continue. Formation en cours d’emploi, de structure modulaire, d’une duree de trois ans, elle vise a donner a des professionnels de sante des competences specifiques dans le vaste champ de la sante publique. De plus, elle a pour ambition de constituer, entre l’universite et les institutions chargees de la sante publique, un reseau de collaboration en vue de faciliter des travaux de recherche et des actions de prevention orientes vers les besoins et les problemes prioritaires de sante de la population. Depuis 1990, les etudiants du diplome ont planifie, mis en œuvre et evalue des projets lies a des problemes de sante publique auxquels ils sont confrontes dans le cadre de leurs activites professionnelles. C’est par des travaux individuels et de groupes, d’ateliers et de seminaires, de seances de « remue-meninges » et d’exercices pratiques que chaque etudiant, avec l’aide des enseignants, a pu identifier des objectifs educationnels individuels et les atteindre, tout en contribuant a resoudre des problemes de sante communautaire. Ce programme, par son approche novatrice, a pour ambition de placer les besoins prioritaires de sante des individus et de la communaute au centre des efforts de formation en sante publique actuellement en cours en Suisse.
