DTM&H

DTM&H stands for Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. It is a postgraduate award, given after a prescribed period of instruction followed by an examination consisting of three parts; (a) a written examination (b) a practical laboratory examination and (c) an oral examination. In some schools, a fourth part consisting of a clinical bedside examination may be required. The DTM&H is offered at the London School of Tropical Medicine,[1] at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine[2] and at Mahidol Bangkok School of Tropical Medicine[3] A part-time course by the University of Glasgow is also offered which leads to the same DTM&H qualification [4]
