Academic Projects

A critical part of your Track participation is your work on an Academic Project, typically completed while on a global elective, which may be done domestically or abroad. 

Academic projects provides new insights into child health or health care at the elective site.  Projects answer a research question or improve quality of care within the local community.  Formal case reports submitted for oral or poster presentation, or a publication are also acceptable.

Connect with your global pediatric mentor to discuss your academic project plans prior to travel.
