Tropical Disease Institute - Ecuador
Program participants will spend two weeks in this tropical Andean country learning about public health issues that affect the majority of the population in Ecuador.
During the trip, students will visit various health care facilities, as well as visit areas where health care is not available. Public health will be examined from different perspectives including clinical, epidemiological, socioeconomic, political, and research.

Since then, more than 210 students from more than 30 universities in the USA, Europe and New Zealand have participated in the annual programs offered by the Institute.
