#DWIHzeitgeist

Building Bridges via Internationalization of Medical Education

Join the DWIH New York for an interactive conversation to learn about how the internalization of medical education can help create a global healthcare community. Internationalization of Medical Education (IoME) can play a crucial role in preparing our next generation of healthcare leaders for this transformative transnational work. IoME helps medical students acquire an understanding and appreciation of belonging to a global healthcare community (transcending national borders), develop the ability to collaborate globally, and respect medicine in other countries in a culturally sensitive manner, thereby reducing healthcare nationalism in the long-term.

Join virtually on April 4 (RSVP required)
