Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!

I proudly present to you the latest issue of GI-Mail with a well selected overview of training and educational opportunities, such as courses in Child Health, Mental Health or humanitarian action.

In the specials section get informed about resilient and innovative health systems by an article reviewing the European Health Forum Gastein. Further on you can find the World Disaster Report 2013, for people interested in the field of humanitarian action we highly recommend the Sphere Handbook in Action e-learning course.

Last but not least you will find current job offers for medical doctors in Austria, Germany and Switzerland.

However, you don’t necessarily have to travel to educate yourself in medicine and health; we also present to you a very interesting collection of book recommendations in our bookshop.

Enjoy reading!

Warm regards

Gerhard Polak, MD

P.S.: You can recommend the GI-Mail newsletter here .
