For those looking to go abroad to learn from local experts and immerse themselves in the healthcare and cultural systems of different areas, see Child Family Health International's website http://www.cfhi.org to learn more about their programs.  CFHI programs are not medical missions as they work with existing healthcare systems.

CFHI participants gain insight into social and economic factors affecting healthcare in underserved communities and cultivate existing clinical skills while immersed in the local healthcare workforce, transforming perspectives about themselves, global health, & healing.

Child Family Health International- CFHI will be hosting a mixer open to CFHI alumni as well as students/faculty who wish to learn more about CFHI and their Global Health ImmersionPrograms in Bolivia, Ecuador, India, Mexico, and South Africa. 

The event will be hosted by Jessica Evert, MD, the Medical Director of CFHI.  Please join us:

This reminds me of Smile Train. They use quite a bit of technology for training, but the locals are involved in doing the actual work.
