International Health Projects
The International Health program at UCHC is co-sponsored by the CBE
and the Center for
International Community Health Studies (CICHS).
Since the program began in 1986, it has provided over 250 educational
experiences for students in every region of the world. The purpose of
the program is to help students understand and respond to the problems
and needs of underserved communities, both in this country and in the
developing world. This includes learning how to work cross-culturally
and cross-nationally in collaboration with health professionals and
community leaders. Student experiences include community health
research and health education, clinical care and language study. The
curriculum times in which students participate in international health
are between first and second year, during fourth year and in an
optional fifth year.
