Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!

Welcome to the July edition of GI-Mail.

This month’s edition focuses on several of the key developments currently shaping international medicine and healthcare. Artificial intelligence, global public health, mental health, vaccinology, and respiratory medicine all feature prominently, reflecting the growing importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and international knowledge exchange.

We begin with Future-Proof with AI, an online course from Harvard University that explores how artificial intelligence is transforming healthcare, research, education, and professional life. Together with the International Vaccines Congress 2026, these educational opportunities demonstrate how innovation and lifelong learning continue to drive progress across the health sector.

Our selection of international congresses highlights major scientific meetings in psychiatry, vaccinology, and global lung health, bringing together clinicians, researchers, public health experts, and policymakers to discuss emerging evidence, future challenges, and practical solutions.

This edition also includes carefully selected Quick Tips & Events covering public health, nutrition, microbiology, nursing leadership, and international project management. As a special highlight, we present an extraordinary mountain medicine course that combines freeride skiing with alpine emergency medicine and hands-on rescue training.

In addition, you will find the latest news from »medicine & health«, featuring current developments in infectious diseases, cancer prevention, HIV policy, and HPV vaccination, alongside new international career opportunities and our latest medical book recommendations.

We hope you enjoy reading the July edition of GI-Mail.

Best regards,
Dr. Gerhard Polak and the Going International Team

The detection of H5N1 in a migratory seabird on the coast of Western Australia means that the virus has now been identified on every continent.

Skin Cancer Screening: Why the Focus Should Be More on Individual Risk in Future
by: link.springer.com 
Germany | Skin cancer is among the most common malignancies worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise. A recent scientific review suggests that the future of skin cancer screening may lie less in universal population-wide programs and more in personalized, risk-based approaches. While evidence for broad screening remains debated, clearly defined high-risk groups appear to benefit substantially from intensified surveillance and advanced diagnostic methods. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and teledermatology may further reshape skin cancer prevention in the coming years.

Young Women Face Near-Zero Risk of Cervical Cancer Death Following HPV Vaccination
von: bbc.com

The findings demonstrate not only a dramatic reduction in cervical cancer cases, but also, for the first time, a measurable reduction in mortality, highlighting the vaccine as one of the most successful cancer prevention interventions of recent decades.
