Oaxaca Spanish immersion
by: Brigid Garrity - United StatesProgram: Virtual Global Health ElectivePracticing my Spanish while immersing myself in another culture prior to residency had long been a goal of mine, and CFHI helped make that happen. I really enjoyed both my language classes and homestay in Oaxaca and was able to take part in local art and cooking classes outside of the hospital as well. I'm grateful for the opportunity and would love to participate in a similar program with CFHI again.
It's a really nice and fun program
by: Kevin Otim - United StatesProgram: Virtual Global Health ElectiveThere's a lot to learn and exposure to get. Getting to work with different people from different nationalities was really exciting. The low resources clinical reasoning sessions were also amazing. The most interesting activities were the Low resources clinical reasoning and Global health ethics.
Loved the program!
by: Martha Nabatanda - United StatesProgram: Virtual Global Health ElectiveThe program has a lot of eye-opening concepts which everyone deserves to learn. The main highlights of the program were learning the different perspectives of health from a diverse background comprising both low/middle income and high income countries. I liked the group discussions and activities most.
