TropEx 2027: Exclusive, Experience from Expert Course

Experience tropical medicine where it happens

Join us for TropEx, a two-week clinical tropical medicine course at the Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, from 1–14 August 2027.

Built around the concept of “Exclusive Experience from the Expert,” TropEx brings doctors closer to clinical practice through learning from experienced clinicians and exploring healthcare in real-world settings in Thailand.

The course places clinical experience at its centre: understanding how experts approach clinical problems, interpret findings and make decisions in the context of the patients and communities they serve.

From the institute to the field

Clinical medicine is shaped by more than the disease itself. The setting, available resources and community context all influence how care is delivered.

TropEx includes two field trips within Thailand, with visits to hospitals and rural areas. These visits will connect learning at the institute with the realities of healthcare beyond the university setting.

Field-trip destinations and the detailed itinerary will be announced with the full programme.

Who can attend?

TropEx is intended for doctors who bring prior training or relevant clinical experience and want to deepen their understanding of clinical tropical medicine.

Eligible participants include:

• Doctors with prior training in infectious diseases (ID).
• Doctors who hold a Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (DTM&H).
• Doctors with relevant clinical experience.

The course offers an opportunity to build on that foundation through expert-led clinical learning and exposure to healthcare settings in Thailand.
