Duke Ob/Gyn's Global Health elective program is a 4-6 week clinical experience at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) in Moshi, Tanzania.
Time in Tanzania is filled with lectures, outpatient and inpatient experiences, a reproductive health clinic, cervical cancer screening clinic and high surgical volume.
Duke Ob/Gyn faculty member Emily Herfel, DO, MSc-GH, travels to Tanzania throughout the year in a clinical role and will be onsite at the start of the elective.
The partnership with the Duke and KCMC Ob/Gyn departments is longstanding and projects include mentorship in resident research projects, development of GYN tumor board, education lectures and capacity building of clinical and surgical skills.
