| The Global Health program at the
UConn Health Center is co-sponsored by Community
Based Education and the
Center for
International Community Health Studies (CICHS).
Since the program began in 1986, it has provided
more than 250 educational experiences for students
in every region of the world. The purpose of the
program is to help students understand and respond
to the problems and needs of underserved
communities, both in this country and in the
developing world. This includes learning how to work
cross-culturally and cross-nationally in
collaboration with health professionals and
community leaders. Student experiences include
community health research and health education,
clinical care and language study. The curriculum
times in which students participate in international
health are between first and second year, during
fourth year and in an optional fifth year. |
