Global Health: Clinical and Community Care
Program Description: The University of Arizona Global Health course, begun in 1982 and revised annually, is a small group, problem-solving course preparing third and fourth year (North American) medical students, primary care residents, and health care professionals for experiences in developing countries. This is a full-time (80 class hours), intensive, interactive course. Multi-disciplinary faculty with clinical experience guide participants in adapting clinical skills and WHO public health concepts in resource-poor nations. Visiting students receive 3-4 weeks’ elective credit at their home institute (which must arrange the actual overseas preceptorship or rotation).
Enrollment limited to 24 participants; this allows case-based teaching in 3 groups of 8 students.
Requirements/Procedures are fully explained on our website http://www.globalhealth.arizona.edu. Course designed for those actively planning for a student or professional experience in a developing country.
