OVERVIEW Intermed is a not-for-profit organization providing a range of services. The Intermed Summer School is an intensive 3 week course specifically designed as an Introduction to International Health and Development for Christian Health Care Professionals who are preparing to work in less developed/ less resourced contexts in the world, or who are on leave from such work. The course provides knowledge, understanding and skills to enhance the ability of personnel to participate effectively in health and development programs. Immediately following the core 3-week course, a more practically orientated optional 4th week is highly recommended. An overseas practicum is also offered, usually mid-year, which provides an opportunity to apply the course knowledge and skills. Full details of the course objectives are provided in the Intermed Handbook. Summer

was designed by Emeritus Professor Anthony Radford who has extensive
experience in primary health care and training of mission workers in
many countries. Anthony is now the Course Advisor. Dr Douglas Shaw, who
has qualifications and experience in international public health and
development is the Course Coordinator. Location Tabor Adelaide (a multi-denominational Christian education centre), 181 Goodwood Road, Millswood, Adelaide, South Australia is the venue for most of the 3 week core course. Some practical components of the course are held at other locations in Adelaide. Track Record Since Intermed was established in 1994, just under 300 participants (average 25 per course), have come from all Australian states, Aboriginal communities, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Germany, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Zambia, the USA, Korea, Singapore and Thailand. Many participants have gone on to work successfully for governments, aid organizations and missions, in Africa, Asia, South America, the Pacific and Australia.
Who may attend? The Summer School is open to any health care professional. Applications are also considered from final year health professional students who are going overseas in the same year as the course.

The course is intensive and moves quickly, assuming an adequate bio-medical vocabulary and health care knowledge.
