Combining CFHI Programs

A unique option offered by CFHI is combining 2-3 programs for a comparative 8-12 week or semester-long immersion experience.  Participants can customize 2 or more programs based on their interest in order to learn in-depth about care in urban vs. rural communities, or learn about specific healthcare issues within a country such as communicable disease in Mumbai, India and maternal and child health in Pune, India, for example.  Whether choosing to take part in 1, 2, or 3 CFHI programs, participants will have a unique opportunity to work alongside professionals in clinical environments and learn about healthcare abroad at the grassroots level.
