Saint Camillus International University of Health Sciences (UniCamillus) is a private Italian university recognised by the Italian Ministry of University and Research in November 2017.[1] It is located in Rome, Cefalù and Venice.

Profile

UniCamillus is dedicated exclusively to Medical Sciences and is reported to be aimed particularly at non-EU international students, as well as Italian and EU students who show a scientific and professional interest towards health issues affecting the Developing Countries (PVS).[2]  

In the vision of a humanitarian commitment that the university declares to pursue, it was also reported the signature of a memorandum of understanding with the Association of the Doctors of Foreign Origin in Italy (AMSI)[3] and the Communities of the Arab World in Italy (Co-mai) as well as co-operation agreements with Haiti, Egypt and other non-European countries[4]

Degree courses

The university's curricula show that the didactic programs as well as the research activities focus on the pathologies at the root of the most common health issues in the Global South such as Malaria, HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Neglected Tropical Diseases, as well as the specific requirements for physicians and health professionals operating in war zones or natural disaster areas. These courses are taught in either English or Italian among many others.
