International Health Elective School of Medicine

The International Medicine Organization in conjunction with the Office of Curriculum, Office of Student Affairs, and F. Marie Hall Institute for Rural and Community Health are happy to announce TTUHSC's new International Health Elective. Any TTUHSC School of Medicine student (MSI through MSIV) may now apply, through a standardized application, to pursue an International Health Elective.

These electives, arranged by the student, should foster the development of humanism and life–long commitment to service while recognizing the responsibility of physicians in addressing global health disparities.

In addition to the experience, students will now receive academic credit upon successful completion of the International Health Elective. Details may be found in the application packet.

Two students who meet eligibility criteria will be selected from the yearly applicants to each receive a $1500 scholarship that have been generously provided by the F. Marie Hall Institute for Rural and Community Health and an anonymous donor.

In 2007, the deadline for submission of materials is April 1 2007.

Please refer to the application packet for more information.

Questions may be addressed to the Office of Curriculum.
