Global Health Fellows will receive pre-departure training and hands-on clinical experience such that by the completion of fellowship they will feel comfortable providing clinical care in an international or resource limited setting.  This may include time spent working at our affiliated Masindi Kitara Hospital in Uganda, Nicaragua, Honduras, or other approved sites. Fellows will receive mentorship from Global Health faculty during their time spent abroad. Thus far, our Division has been involved in clinical care, education, quality improvement, systems development, and research in:

-Haiti

-Guyana

-Nicaragua

-Honduras

-Peru

-Uganda

-St. Croix

Fellows will also have the opportunity to assist with curriculum development in Emergency Medicine as well as to work with our Ultrasound and Radiology teams on developing training curricula for our overseas partners. Field work can be tailored to a fellow's particular areas of interest. 

 
Global Health Fellows at MUSC are faculty in the Department of Emergency medicine at the level of Clinical Instructor and as such will provide bedside teaching to residents and medical students at MUSC. They play an important role as educators to residents completing the Global Health Residency Track. In addition, they will have opportunities to assist in teaching Global Health Electives, pre-departure training of medical students and residents, training and supervision of medical students and residents working on overseas rotations. Furthermore fellows provide didactic and bedside teaching to overseas medical staff and trainees.
