It is a full-time, on-site programme for physicians who hold a medical degree (MD/MBBS or equivalent) from a medical school in any country and who are licensed to practise medicine in that country. Online participation is not possible. Registration is open until 31 January 2026.
The Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine is Germany's oldest institution of its kind, having been founded in 1900. The DTMH has been held here since 1905.
You will be taught by experienced scientific and clinical experts from all departments of the BNITM and from many external national and international institutions.
The Diploma Course will train physicians to work in countries of the tropics or subtropics. The course will enable participants to diagnose and treat diseases in travellers and migrants from the tropics and subtropics and to provide preventive medical travel-related advice.
The course focuses on the aetiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of tropical diseases and clinical work in low-resource settings. It also covers travel medicine and principles of global health.

The online event “Hämorrhagisches Krim-Kongo-Fieber – in Europa?” 🦠 will take place on 20 May 2026, from 15:00 to 16:30 (Webex).
Organized by experts from the STAKOB network at the Robert Koch Institute, the session focuses on the clinical management of diseases caused by rare, emerging, or highly pathogenic agents. It highlights how globalization and climate change are contributing to the spread of disease vectors such as Hyalomma ticks, which can transmit the Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus to humans and animals.
The discussion will address the risks of CCHF, a severe zoonotic disease that can also be transmitted from person to person and is associated with a high fatality rate. Emphasis will be placed on early recognition, diagnosis, and appropriate clinical response in a European context 🌍.
The session is led by Dr. Agata Mikolajewska from the Robert Koch Institute. Participation is free of charge, held online via Webex, and continuing medical education credits can be applied for.
