The program's structure allowed for in-depth exploration of global health issues, including maternal-child health and infectious diseases, while promoting critical thinking and cultural awareness. Facilities were well-organized for online learning, ensuring smooth interactions among participants. Overall, it was a valuable opportunity that enriched my understanding of global health dynamics and fostered connections with peers worldwide.

Oaxaca Spanish immersion

Practicing 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.

There'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.
