Netherlands Course on Global Health and Tropical Medicine (NTC) The Netherlands Course on Global Health and Tropical Medicine (NTC) provides essential preparation for health professionals such as medical doctors, nurses and midwives planning to work in low- and middle-income settings and/or with marginalised communities. The NTC can be taken as a stand-alone course or as the core course of the Master of Science in International Health (MIH). In the Netherlands, the NTC forms part of a post-graduate training programme for physicians leading to a diploma as MD Global Health and Tropical Medicine (AIGT).

The NTC is organised by KIT Royal Tropical Institute in collaboration with the Vrije Universiteit Medical Centre (VU) in Amsterdam and the University Hospital of the University of Amsterdam (UvA).
