Abstract

In our institution, medical students engage in international medical service trips that are inspired by their commitment to global causes. To support students interested in medical volunteerism, we sponsored pre-clerkship faculty to accompany them during the academic break to complete a week-long immersion in globally learned outreach-based experiences. Our student feedback suggests that participation in these experiences is meaningful, and we believe the international collaborations foster a sustainable educational model. We propose here a model for developing opportunities in Global Outreach-based Activity Learning (GιOBAL) experiences that involve pre-clerkship faculty and which can be helpful to new and established medical programs.
