Abstract:
In this age of increased global connectivity, global health education is more important than ever. While numerous residency programs include global programs, less are offered during medical school. Many of these are during clinical years with little training prior to participating in an international externship. The Global Medicine Track (GMT) at Rocky Vista University is a 3.5-year formal osteopathic program aimed at training culturally competent physicians to more effectively serve global and underserved communities. Major goals include intensive didactic training and experiential clinical activities. Ongoing evaluations and assessments support the topics covered as relevant for today's Global Health needs.
