Welcome to the website of Nordic Foundation Course in Travel Medicine
NITME had a great pleasure to announce the 2nd Foundation Course in Travel Medicine in partnership with Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (RCPSG).
Unfortunately we received too few applications to the 2nd NFCTM and we will therefor not be able to start the course this autumn.
We strongly recommend all interested to contact the Royal College of Physician and Surgeons of Glasgow and apply for their Foundation Course that starts in November. You can find more information here: www.rcpsg.ac.uk/travel-medicine/about-ftm/foundation-course.aspx
We apologise for this inconvenience and we are really sorry for not being able to provide this educational effort this time.
