Maria Grazia Fiori - Italy             (Humanitarian Medic)

“Humanitarian Medic is an
innovative training course, peculiar
in its structure and organization
because it provides all the basic
knowledge to face and deal with
particular situations in the area of
disaster medicine. This knowledge
is transferred also by exposing
students to professional, technical
and emotional challenges during
simulation exercises and real life
scenarios, presented during the
Master course.”
