About the Tanzania Summer Program

 
 

The goal of the nine-week summer program in Moshi, Tanzania is to enhance cross-cultural competence and gain broad knowledge about global health and agricultural issues in the Tanzanian context.  Participants live with a local family and enroll in a course at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical College (KCMC) in which they learn about current policy issues and work in teams with Tanzanian students to develop, negotiate, and present ideas on a policy case study.  During this service-learning experience, students also contribute about twenty hours of direct service each week to a local non-governmental organization, hospital, government agency, or research project through an internship placement that is tailored to the student's interests in global health.  To learn more, download the program handbook.
