Tropical medicine is the study of diseases that occur more commonly in tropical regions of the world. However, in today’s era of globalization and modern transportation, diseases that were once confined to the tropics have spread geographically and played a significant role in the 20th century global resurgence of infectious diseases. As such, research in the area of tropical medicine has greatly increased in importance in the past 20 years.
The field of tropical medicine requires knowledge of virology, bacteriology, parasitology, entomology, immunology, cell and molecular biology, epidemiology, ecology, behavioral science and clinical medicine.
The course usually employs a multidisciplinary approach to research problems in tropical medicine, including immunology, pathogenesis, ecology, epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention, control, treatment, socio-ecological systems, human ecology, microbial and vector ecology, environmental change, and participatory action research to answer fundamental questions associated with the pathogenesis of these diseases. These studies can be laboratory-based, field-based, clinical-based, or include a combination of all three.
Scope in Community Medicine is good. Apart from getting jobs in Health Education or Govt. Health Services, there are other options as well, like working with WHO etc.
