The students share their experience about the EID Master Program
“It’s a master’s degree that enables us to tackle important themes for tomorrow’s world, particularly in the world of research and public health, such as the notion of ”One Health”, which we tackle in all its aspects in this master’s degree. I would recommend this Master’s program, which made me realize that I wanted to go into public health. I’m now doing an internship at the Ministry of Health’s health crisis center as part of a second Master’s degree in management of exceptional health situations, where I’m focuses on epidemic issues linked to the transmission of viruses by insects.”
“I would advise to other students to not be afraid of doing it! It’s not a secret that coming as a foreigner can be a challenge. There are different things that you can find difficult like the language, the adaptation… it’s all a process! But at the end, it’s worth the effort! I am now doing a PhD on infectious diseases focused on the monkey pox virus and the knowledge I learnt in this master program is really helpful in my research.”
“This master’s program offers a wide range of teaching units, which allows you to discover several disciplines. It’s also a great opportunity to meet people from very different backgrounds. Following this program, I attend my fourth year of medicine. I also chose this Master’s degree because of its complementarity with medicine. Indeed, the clinical approach of medicine complements the EID approach, which is more focused on research and the study of bacteria and viruses in themselves.”
The international intership experiences of the EID Master Program students
“I was lucky to be a student in the EID Master program as part of a research year, after completing my internship in Infectious and Tropical Diseases in Marseille. Thanks to this very open and dynamic Master’s program, I was able to organize a tailor-made, international internship between the Medical Entomology Unit at the Institut Pasteur in Madagascar and the Emerging Viruses Unit in Marseille. The internship combined all the aspects of research I wanted to discover: fieldwork, laboratory work and ecological reflection on an infectiology topic. An ideal year of research to gain perspective on our medicine, and a great experience for the future!”
