Dominican Republic Healthcare Education Language Partnership

With the continuing globalization of industry, economy, and especially health issues, we recognize the importance of understanding healthproblems and policies in neighboring countries. We aim to increase our awareness of health care in Latin America by working with physicians and medical students who serve patients in the Dominican Republic. By participating in health care in the Caribbean, we will see conditions and treatment that differs from our cloistered experiences at the University of Florida. As part of our orientation to the health care in the Dominican Republic, we will attend a seminar given by the Universidad Central del Este medical faculty. This seminar will serve to familiarize us with tropical and third world medicine. Additionally, interaction with the local medical physicians and students will enhance our understanding of both the similarities and differences of medical education in the Dominican Republic in comparison with the United States curriculum.
