The International Public Health Clerkship is a 4-week elective clerkship offered to students in their 4th year designed to give students clinical experience in patient care in another country. The foundation of the clerkship’s curriculum is built upon gaining an understanding of travel medicine, public health, cultural competency, and the most common clinical presentations of the region being visited. The student will be provided the opportunity to perform history and physical examinations, develop the skills of appropriate documentation, and they will develop skills for diagnosis and treatment necessary in low resource areas. Familiarity and skill level with the local language depend on the specific requirements of the clinical site.
