Temple University School of Medicine is strongly supportive of international clinical experiences for its students. In response to an ever-growing student interest in elective experiences outside of the United States, TUSM has established an International Health Program (IHP). The IHP is administered by the Office of Academic Affiliations (OAA), which is responsible for management of Year 3 and Year 4 student curricular experiences. A modest scholarship fund has been established to support student rotations abroad. The student-led International Health Interest Group (IHIG) regularly provides related information and promotional programs, and the OAA regularly updates the School’s intranet site with relevant historical and evaluative data provided by students who have completed international rotations.
In the past five years students have completed international rotations in Africa (Cameroon, Kenya, Senegal, Togo, Uganda); Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Taiwan); the Caribbean (Barbados. Haiti); Central America (Costa Rica, Guatemala); Europe (Armenia, England, Spain, Turkey); the Middle East (Iran); and South America (Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru).
