Mayo International Health Program

The Mayo International Health Program (MIHP) enables Mayo residents and fellows to pursue elective rotations in underserved international communities. MIHP has a lasting, positive impact on the residents and fellows who participate in the program. Serving the needs of the underserved is an important part of training future generations of leaders in academic and clinical medicine.

Rotation settings are well planned and mentored. MIHP provides up to $2000 in financial support to help defray travel and basic living expenses for those selected to participate.

An experience with MIHP will help residents and fellows to:

Provide valuable care to underserved patients
Promote increased cultural awareness
Provide exposure to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases not usually seen in modern Western medicine
Increase awareness of cost-effective care in a setting of limited resources
Promote improvement of history and physical examination skills
Provide opportunities for research.

	The Experience "Every resident should step out of their comfort zone and see how medicine is practiced where the majority of the world's people live." more... Kristin Chrouser, 2004 MIHP participant
