Global Health Program at Nuvance Health/UVMLCOM for Senior Medical Students

​

Lead: Majid Sadigh, MD

 

Method: A formal lecture followed by Q/A session

 

Objectives:

 

1. To make the students familiar with the structure and content of the global health program at Nuvance Health and the opportunities available to the medical students to participate. 

 

Since our inception in 2012, our intention has been to inspire a more global vision of healthcare in undergraduate and graduate medical education. Hopefully, some of our trainees will become global health leaders in the future. The elective is 2 weeks for faculty and 6 weeks for all students and most residents. The emphasis is on immersion in patient care, culture, and community. 

​

Our partners around the world are mainly among major universities: Makerere University in Uganda, University of Zimbabwe, University of Botswana, University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Vietnam, UNIBE in the Dominican Republic, Walailak University in Thailand, DMIMS in India, or major tertiary medical institutions like Cho Ray Hospital in Vietnam, or Heart Institute in Dominican Republic, or big rural care centers like ACCESS in Uganda, St. Francis and St. Stephen Hospitals in Uganda. Overall, we have 16 partners in 7 countries outside the USA.
