Twenty first-year students from the School of Medicine were recently awarded International
Research Fellowships allowing them to carry out two months of research this summer
at a variety of locations including Haiti, Chile, Argentina, Madagascar, Zimbabwe,
Thailand, China (Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong), Ireland, the U.K., and Italy.
At the same time, senior medical students are planning electives in Guatemala, Mexico,
Peru, Argentina, Bangladesh, Japan, and Switzerland (WHO), among other sites.
In January, residents from the Department of Medicine visited Kyorin Univ. Hospital in Tokyo, Japan and assisted at a Blanca’s House clinical mission in plastic surgery in San Pedro de Sula, Honduras. In March, a mission to Nicaragua on women’s health was carried out by residents from Medicine, Anesthesia, and Ob-Gyn together with medical students and students from the Physician’s Assistant program. Faculty and students from the School of Dental Medicine recently returned from an annual clinical mission in Chile, and pediatric faculty and residents will travel to Uganda in April. In May, residents from Emergency Medicine will rotate at Clínica Las Condes in Santiago de Chile, and in June, A Promise to Peru will carry out a cataract surgery mission in Cuzco attended by students from the Schools of Medicine and Nursing and the P.A. program, along with faculty and residents from the Department of Ophthalmology.
