I feel very privileged and fortunate to have been a student at LSTM over the past few months. The course deserves its excellent reputation, and it is clearly in safe hands as it continues to respond to our ever-changing world.  I was very impressed from the moment of my arrival by the levels of professionalism and enthusiasm displayed by all members of the School. It was obvious that everybody greatly enjoys teaching on the course, and this led to a highly conducive environment for learning, whilst still having fun!

I now feel far more confident in my approach towards tropical medicine, and I have already been able to put my new-found knowledge to good use whilst advising colleagues deployed abroad. My current role involves responding on Humanitarian and Disaster Relief operations, and having attended this course, I feel much better equipped to provide the best possible medical care to my patients in these highly challenging circumstances. (Dr Tom Bennett Britton, May 2019)

Great teaching, great environment, opportunity to meet many interesting and inspirational people, both students and staff and a lot of fun. (Anonymous end of course feedback May 2019)

It is truly an amazing experience to be here at LSTM on the DTM&H course. Wonderful tutors, friendly staff and great environment; all in one place at the same time. I am so happy to have made the right choice to attend the course at LSTM. Dr Michael Kamara, Sierra Leone on the Spring 2019 DTM&H

The teaching and lecturers have been fantastic, amazing depth of knowledge and huge amounts of clinical insight to impart... Fantastic experience and really glad I came (2016)

The real privilege of this course are the lecturers we have here at LSTM, who are world leaders in their fields. Many take the time to tell us about the varied and colourful careers they have led, with experiences that have taken them around the world. In this post-MTAS world, it is a refreshing and much-needed reminder that some of our most celebrated academics and clinicians have not had a direct trajectory to the top of their fields. Highlights include learning about Ebola from Dr Tim O’Dempsey, who led the WHO clinical response in Kenema, Sierra Leone; humanitarian agencies from Prof. Joe Valadez, who worked with the Rwandan government immediately post-genocide, and about rabies from Prof. Tom Solomon, who has treated one of the few UK cases in the last century. Inspiration also comes from fellow classmates: one of our cohort was responsible for testing diagnostics in the field during the Ebola crisis and has a unique insight into the challenges faced.
