I wanted to pass
along the attached flyer and application for an externship program running this
December 2016. Dr. Detrano is a faculty member at UC Irvine Public Health;
his team has run externships in Yunnan for the past 8 years.
I participated as
an extern last year and would highly recommend it for pre-med students and/or students
considering a public health track. The externship is quite a deep plunge into
rural Yunnan China (screening patients for heart disease, clinical intake,
training rural doctors) so it would be best if applicants could speak and
communicate in Chinese. Field teams will be led by Dr. Detrano himself and a local physician of Kunming Medical University.
We have a couple
of spots for December of this year. The externship will run from Dec 9 to 27. In addition to screening children for
congenital heart disease, lectures will incorporate
broader issues of healthcare in China. We encourage applications from students
who are hardworking and committed to working in a limited resources
setting.
