GEO, in affiliation with the Office of International Programs at Georgetown University School of Medicine, established a program at for Georgetown medical students and for residents. Thanks to the efforts and interest of Dr. Irma Frank, DDS (International Programs Director), Dr. Ray Mitchell, M.D. (Dean of the Medical School), and Dr. Brendan Furlong, M.D. (Director of Emergency Medicine), at Georgetown University School of Medicine this program has been very successful.
Students and residents have had exciting experiences encouraged by Dr. Irma Frank. They have had the unique exposure to the difficulties facing populations in developing countries, while at the same time meet and work with professionals from other countries as well as medical students from developing nations. Many students as well get hands on practical experience practicing medicine in a different unfamiliar cultural setting, where the experience has the promise of developing an appreciation, understanding, and insight into other cultures in the world, while at the same time undergoing personal self development and appreciation for practicing medicine in a system with technological advances.
Those of you who wish to find out more about opportunities please contact Dr. Nazaneen Grant at Georgetown.
