SUMMER COURSE (July 7-25, 2008) on INTERNATIONAL HEALTH: CLINICAL AND COMMUNITY CARE (FCM 896A) at the University of Arizona is an intensive, full-time (80 class hours) interactive, small-group, problem-oriented course preparing fourth-year North American medical students* and residents for health care experiences in developing countries. Clinically experienced multi-disciplinary faculty guide young physicians in adapting clinical skills and WHO public health concepts in resource-poor nations. Visiting students receive six weeks’ elective credit at their home institution (which must also arrange the actual overseas preceptorship). The class is limited to 30, selected by approximately May 1, 2008. *Openings may arise for clinicians from other health professions.
