Health care in translation

Not all medicine is practiced alike. Our Global Health Program places students in medical “classrooms” in places as varied as a breast cancer ward in Argentina, an emergency room in China, and a rural clinic in Ecuador. The list of medical immersions goes on—from Armenia to Zambia, from Ethiopia to Peru.

In this globally connected world, health care providers must appreciate cultural differences among their patients and medical colleagues around the world. Providing care in other cultures—whether in Boston or Tanzania—broadens our students’ perspective on health and human illness and leads to culturally competent and well-rounded physicians.
