A World of Good

As part of the new Public Health & Professional Degree Program's Global Health Initiative, several medical students were able to travel to Peru, India and Africa to learn and experience public health and medical care in a foreign setting. Internship opportunities are available for students in the MD/MPH, DVM/MPH, MPH and MS-Health Communication degree programs.

Special thanks to Harris Berman, MD; James Hyde, MA, SM; Jeffrey Griffiths, MD, MPH&TM; and Odilia Bermudez, PhD, who were instrumental in making the internships possible.
