About 'Topics in International Health' at the The Wellcome Trust
'Topics in International Health' is an exciting and unique series of educational materials for medical and life sciences students, their teachers and other healthcare professionals. Aspects of international and tropical health are presented on a range of CD-ROMs, each focusing on a disease (or group of diseases) of global significance. This series of CD-ROMs has been developed by the Wellcome Trust, the world's largest medical research charity, for use as an educational resource in tropical and international health.

All the information on the CD-ROMs has been reviewed by experts to ensure that it is comprehensive, accurate, and up to date. The topics are presented in a clear and simple format to help explain complex concepts. Three complementary resources are contained on each of these unique CD-ROMs: a selection of interactive tutorials, an image collection, and a glossary. Each CD-ROM in the series focuses on a disease or group of diseases of worldwide importance. The tutorials contains objectives, self-assessment tests, a list of key references to encourage further reading, and summary screens to reinforce the crucial points. If you have access to the internet the latest information concerning the TIH series can be found at www.wellcome.ac.uk/tih The Diarrhoeal Diseases CD-ROM provides an illustrated introduction to this important group of diseases, their causes, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control.
