This project will include a longitudinal, low-intensity, non-funded experience and a high-intensity, funded, international experience.
During the longitudinal experience the student will assist in coordinating an Internet-based educational exchange between UCD and the University of Health Sciences in Phnom Penh. Activities will include teaching Cambodian Psychiatry Residents how to access and use free medical databases relevant to their theses. Students may assist their Cambodian counterparts by using databases available through the Denison library. An interest in using technology to improve medical education and medical practice is essential. Estimated time commitment for this part of the project will be 2-5 hours per month for 2-4 years.
The funded experience will consist of a 1-2 month summer externship at the University of Health Sciences in Cambodia. Students would spend time with Cambodian counterparts at an outpatient psychiatric clinics in Phnom Penh and in an outlying province. There may be opportunities for clinical exposure to general primary care and to care for those affected by HIV/AIDS. The student would also assist residents in usiing online recources to access medical literature during their visit. The participating student will have the opportunity to complete his/her medical school requirement for completion of a scholarly activity related to this experience.
