Rural Medical Education offers international training opportunities
October 31, 2016 • Rural Medical Education
The addition of more international clinical opportunities reflect the program’s ongoing integration of global health into the Health Science Center’s nationally recognized rural medicine curriculum.
“Our students’ commitment to holistic and humanistic values in medical training is what attracts them to the Health Science Center,” said John Gibson, Assistant Professor in the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, who leads the Rural Health program. “By offering students significant rotations in underserved international settings, we ensure that our graduates receive robust training that will enhance their ability to provide quality care in the future.”
Global health training begins during students’ first year of school and continues with clinical rotations during the third and fourth years. Students also are encouraged to pursue a dual degree or certificate program in public health as part of their education at UNTHSC.
