Fifth semester student, Chelsea Azevedo recently presented research at the 2018 International Health Congress at Oxford University. The project, “Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes in the Population of Sint Maarten” is headed by Clinical Medicine Professor Dr. Naira Chobanyan and includes a group of students led by third year student Mohamed Rafaat.
Are you interested in presenting original clinical research at a conference or meeting? AUC can help offset the costs of registration and travel.
Two years ago, AUC entered into a partnership with Danbury Hospital and the Western Connecticut Health Network (WCHN) to offer Global Health electives to clinical students. Through that collaboration, more than 30 students have gone to five different countries to experience medical care in a new environment. The opportunity has been described as eye opening and life changing, and one that influences students well into their careers as physicians.
The theme of this semester’s Clinical Connections newsletter is global health and cultural competency. In addition to a wide-range of opportunities for clinical training in the United Kingdom, AUC’s ongoing collaboration with the Western Connecticut Health Network’s Global Health Program provides opportunities for 4th year students to complete a 6-week elective rotation in one of five countries: Zimbabwe, Uganda, Russia, Vietnam, and the Dominican Republic.
