IU School of Medicine has a long-standing educational, clinical and research collaboration with Moi University School of Medicine in Eldoret, Kenya. This mutually beneficial program allows trainees and faculty at IU School of Medicine to visit Kenya and gain outstanding experience in providing first-hand clinical care in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. Infectious Diseases fellows have an opportunity to undertake a one-month elective rotation in Kenya under the direction of Kara Wools-Kaloustian, MD.
Throughout this elective, fellows provide clinical care at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital as well as one or more HIV outpatient care venues. Fellows are expected to teach Moi University School of Medicine house officers and students during inpatient rounds. In addition, opportunities are available to learn and understand the unique challenges of performing clinical research in international settings.
Fellows participating in this elective would stay at the IU House near Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. While there, they can interact with other trainees and faculty from IU School of Medicine and also with visitors from other North American institutions and elsewhere.
