Abstract Introduction Public health practices of medical training should be modifiable according to the needs of the population. Turkey has been facing with the refugee problem since 2011. In this regard, new requirements are arising for medical professionals starting from the medical faculties. In this paper, a new elective course introduced for medical students on migration and health will be defined. Materials and Methods ”Migration and Health” in Public Health Perspective Course was proposed for the first phase medical students at Hacettepe University, Faculty of Medicine. The proposal was approved by the official mechanisms of the medical faculty after a detailed assessment. The aim of the approved Course was to gain information and increase awareness on health aspect of migration based on good medical practices. Results The Couse was held between October 2019 and January 2020 once a week for two hours. Fifteen Turkish and other international students completed the Course. Interactive training techniques were used during the Course. Feedbacks of the students were regularly taken after each class once a week. Reflections of the students were also recorded both at the beginning and at the end of the Course. The students were successful in achieving the aims of the Course. Additionally, another achievement was gained which was not proposed at the beginning of the Course. The “positive” attitude of the medical students refusing discrimination against refugees was the secondary and may be a more worthy outcome of the Course. All students were able to look at the refugee problem with good medical values and based on the basic rights of the humanity. Conclusions The students reported their satisfaction about the Course. As the Course was applied for the first time, it is open for revision according to the feedbacks received during of the Program. The Content, the methods will be overviewed before the next year. Key messages Medical students’ curricula could have been updated due to the new and the dynamic developments in the population. Refugee issue needs a global perspective which the medical students need to learn.

Shared Commitment

In December 2019, clinicians and academics from the disciplines of public health and psychiatry met in Dublin at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), to restate their shared commitment to population health. The purpose of this review is to bring our discussion to a wider audience. The meeting could not have been more timely. Six weeks later, the COVID-19 emergency emerged in China and within 12 months it had swept the world. This paper, the contents of which were presented at that meeting in December recommended that future healthcare would be guided more by public health perspectives and informed by an understanding of health economics, population health and the lessons learned by psychiatry in the 20th century. Ultimately two issues are at stake in 21st century healthcare: the sustainability of our healthcare systems and the maintenance of public support for population health. We must plan for the next generation of healthcare. We need to do this now since it is clear that COVID-19 marks the beginning of 21st century medicine.
