What do the questions concerning UniCamillus' humanitarian mission focus on?

Questions related to UniCamillus’ specific humanitarian mission, if indicated in the application call, will focus on the following topics:

 

"...issues related to the shortage of healthcare workers in developing countries, widespread diseases in these countries, organizations tasked with addressing humanitarian issues, eminent figures who have made contributions in these fields, and related topics. No specialist knowledge is required: information derived from reading newspapers and access to the media that commonly report on such topics is enough. These questions will be aimed at eliciting the applicant’s degree of interest in the aforementioned topics, which, if these interests exist, will certainly have been the subject of personal reading, albeit of an informative and not specialized nature".

 

In different and more specific terms, an extremely in-depth preparation is not required, but rather the candidate's interest, curiosity, and attention to health issues in developing countries, humanitarian policies, and actions taken by the international community will be assessed.
