Join local experts and healthcare professionals during this one-week Global Health Seminar to learn about primary care and preventative medicine, as well as community health education programs, through lectures, cultural/historical activities, site visits, and rotations at clinics, hospitals, and NGOs. Learn from experts at community-level clinics and hospitals serving low-income populations. See Mexico’s three-tiered insurance system, and understand how the quality of care, wait times, and access to medications varies between each. 

In 1940, Mexico’s life expectancy was 40 years of age. Today, with increased industrialization and longer life spans, the country is struggling with “first world diseases.” Witness chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension that are increasingly common as a result of poor nutrition, unhealthy lifestyle, and lack of education. This program will provide participants with unique insight and cultural competency when serving the growing Mexican immigrant population in the US and abroad.
