Curriculum

First year
You will complete a 2-week course in topics relevant to global health and participate in a trip to one of our partner sites. The purpose of this trip is to expose you to a community health-based system, familiarize you with the local healthcare structure and medical education system and introduce you to our local partners and communities we work with. This trip will prepare you for your return trips in 2nd and 3rd year when you would be expected to understand this system and work collaboratively with our partners. 

Second year
You will have another 4-week elective away in one of our partner sites. The focus of this month will be either clinical or research-based. The goal is for you to gain 4 weeks each of clinical and research experience.  

Third year
You will have another 4-week elective away in one of our partner sites. The focus of this month will be either clinical or research-based depending on what you opted for in your second year.                            

You will also participate in the monthly global health seminar series and during your second and third years, you will be expected to complete at least two presentations.   

At the completion of residency, a certificate of additional training will be given to residents who have completed the Global Health Track.
