You will rotate around our partner teaching hospitals in this city of temples and customs, where Eastern treatment methods are used in conjunction with Western medicine to provide a unique learning environment that will extend your medical perspective. International students are welcomed by the city’s medical community, which provides valuable perspectives on healthcare delivery in a rapidly developing country.
