A new health care course for medical students will be offered in Cuban teaching hospitals and community clinics next summer, according to a university release.
The course, “Community Health and Cuban Culture,” organized by MSU’s Institute of International Health, will involve two weeks of study in Havana hospitals and clinics.
The course currently is planned for May 2014 and will be open to medical, public health, nursing and health science students.
Currently, MSU offers a study abroad program, “Culture and Sustainable Development in Cuba” through the University of Havana.
According to the release from MSU Today, MSU representatives who met with Cuban Health Ministry officials facilitated the agreement and found opportunities with Cuban medical facilities for a research collaboration focused on tropical medicine, community health and public health.
