The IU Center for Global Health develops mutually beneficial partnerships across disciplines, schools and countries for the primary purpose of creating and implementing sustainable programs that improve health and human flourishing in underserved areas worldwide in addition to preparing a critical mass of health education and health research experts in these communities.

• The Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH) is a partnership between Moi University in Eldoret, Kenya; Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital; and AMPATH Consortium of Universities (led by Indiana University). It was officially established in 2001; however, our relationship with Moi extends all the way back to 1989.

• We have the opportunity to participate in a two month rotation at Moi.

• One of the crown jewels of IU Med-Peds training, and certainly something we are extremely proud of!

• Indiana is home to the country's largest Burmese community, with about ~35,000 individuals living here; many of whom are refugees. 

  • Residents at HealthNet Barrington - one of our continuity clinics - are able to care for this population frequently, aided by in-person interpretive services and social work. 

• Our county hospital - Eskenazi Hospital - frequently sees patients with diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. On the wards and newborn nursery, it is not infrequent to need a Spanish, Haitian Creole, Haka Chin, or Vietnamese interpreter on a single day.

• The global health track is one of a few interdisciplinary global health residency tracks across the nation with residents specializing in med-peds, internal medicine, pediatrics, family medicine, surgery, OB-GYN, emergency medicine, and PM&R.

• Residents attend quarterly half-day conferences, prepare a scholarly project, and complete an international or local-global experience.
