Weill Cornell Medical College is pleased to announce a new Global Health Elective for Medical Students and Residents

Young and senior physicians alike struggle to deliver care in the developing world--- where supplies are limited in quantity and variety, where pathologies are uncommon, and where the patient's culture may be new. To provide guidance and training for such encounters, a new elective has been established--- Global Health: Clinical Skills for Resource-poor Environments.

Global Health: Clinical Skills for Resource-poor Environments (40 credit hours)
This elective teaches high-yield skills in preparation for common clinical encounters in resource-poor settings. Geared towards students who plan to serve abroad or who have interest in this area. Hands-on teaching workshops and lab, which span a wide range of disciplines ranging from Infectious Diseases to Mother-child Health to Emergency Medicine and more, will be given by global health faculty and global health practitioners from multiple institutions including: Weill Cornell Medical College, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Mt. Sinai Medical College, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, Harvard Medical School, New York University School of Medicine, the World Health Organization and more.
