Description:
JeffHEALTH is a student-run organization that aims to help Eastern Africa, specifically Rwanda, link to improved health resources. We strive to build a university-wide community of health professional students and faculty interested in working to improve health conditions in African communities. JeffHEALTH has partnered with the University of Rwanda to organize a bilateral exchange program. Students have the opportunity to participate in a number of collaborative projects with Rwandan colleagues ranging from public health outreach to scholarly research. There are also opportunities to travel to Rwanda over the summer as well as for an MS4 clinical rotation.
