Dartmouth ’06 graduate and WISP alumnae, Dr. Kathleen McManus let us know about a summer research program at the University of Virginia (UVa) called the Minority Health International Research Training Program.

This program involves an analysis of global rural health disparities using an interdisciplinary approach to appreciate the complexity of global health and disease. This highly competitive program offers under-represented minority students training and professional development experience, which facilitates more desirable applications to graduate training and professional schools. Selected candidates will work with mentors at one of several international partner sites including Uganda, South Africa, and St. Kitts and Nevis.

The program includes a weekend research retreat at UVa in late winter/early spring, a 3-5 day pre-departure week at UVa before you travel to your international partner site, 8 weeks participating in a mentored summer research experience at one of our international partner sites, followed by a debrief back at UVa with an intensive week of data analysis, writing, and presentations.

The application will be available in mid-October and the application deadline is January 3, 2018. More information about the program can be found here: https://globalhealth.virginia.edu/mhirt or you can contact Dr. McManus at [log in to unmask]
