The Health Emergencies in Large Populations (HELP) course is offered by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The course was founded based on the need for humanitarian workers to acquire a holistic understanding of the needs of refugees, internally displaced persons, and others affected by natural disasters and conflict in order more effectively manage health crises in emergency settings. All healthcare and public health professionals working in large-scale health emergencies and humanitarian assistance should consider attending the course. The HELP course has been presented for 20 years and is virtual again this year.
HELP Course: Winter Institute: January 5-16 2026, which will be a virtual (online but ‘live’) course.
