The OHSU Global Southeast Asia Clinical Field Experience provides a mentored global health immersion experience which introduces medical students to the factors contributing to health and disease globally through the lens of experiential learning in SE Asia. Opportunities for medical student experiences are now available by way of OHSU partner institutions at Mae Fah Luang University in Chiang Rai, Thailand. This elective allows students to either expand their skills in diverse clinical settings or to learn more about cross border and public health priorities in countries which face remarkably different health challenges than one sees in the US. More broadly, the elective aims to deepen student understanding of and appreciation for international medical and public health systems so that they might be more culturally aware and effective practitioners after returning to the United States when they have opportunity to apply these life changing skills.
