Kansas University Medical Center (KUMC), known worldwide as a hub for research and innovation, is also renowned for its Office of International Programs. Under the leadership of Kimberly Connelly, the office offers inbound opportunities for international researchers and clinicians, international educational experiences, and again this fall, the INMED Professional Certificate Courses in Medicine, Nursing and Public Health.
Why add such learning content to already vigorous healthcare education programs? In short, because healthcare in settings of low resources and across cultures requires skills that are outside the norm. Focus on diseases closely related to poverty and on population-based health leadership skills are some important elements of this very special education.
What’s next in cooperation between KUMC and INMED? Please join us for the Humanitarian Health Conference, hosted by KUMC on June 4-6, to develop your own international programs!
