Objectives/
Content |

The University of Arizona
summer course, begun in 1982 and revised annually, is
a multidisciplinary, case-based, problem-solving course
preparing medical students and primary care residents
for health care experiences in developing countries. Other
health professionals with clinical experience in any medical
or public health field may apply as well.
This is a full-time (80 class hours), interactive course,
with two optional weekend field trips. Faculty are all
experienced clinicians from several departments. Visiting
medical students receive up to four weeks' elective credit
at their home school (which must also arrange the actual
overseas preceptorship).
We believe this is one of the most specific and useful
preparations for North American senior medical students,
residents, and public health students to prepare for a
field experience in a developing nation. |
