Urban / Rural Himalyan Rotation, Dehradun
» Introduction
"This program is run jointly with NQ's affiliate, Child Family Health International. All information below was taken from CFHI's website, and may have been updated. Please check CFHI's website, www.cfhi.org, for up-to-date information."

CFHI's India program provides Medical and Pre-Medical students a unique opportunity to study various diseases in clinical environments that represent the rural health care systems in the developing country of India. The students will rotate through hospitals and clinics under the supervision of local doctors and will spend all four weeks in rural areas studying primary care and public health issues.

» Clinical Sites
The following are few hospitals and clinics as sample of possible rotations during this program. Restrictions may apply for pre-clinical, and pre-medical students. Rotation availability depends on local conditions.

Than Gaon Rural Clinic :
For a week during the program, students will live in a small rural community located in the village of Than Gaon. Here, students will spend one week living and working with a local physician. The focus will be on primary care and preventative medicine. Students will also go on hikes around the mountains and learn about the medicinal plants of the area. They will work in the Than Gaon village clinic and participate in informal workshops on home remedies. This is a great opportunity to experience village life and health care in a rural area.

Landhour Community Hospital, Mussouriee :
For a week during the program, students will live in the Landhour Hospital located in Mussouriee. Here, students will spend one week living and working with local doctors. This hospital is a missionary hospital. This will be a great opportunity for students to explore the working of Missionary hospital in Rural area of Mussouriee and also explore the beautiful mountain areas on Mussouriee. Students can also hike to Mussouriee from Than Gaon.

Dr. Nisha Gera Nursing Home :
Dr. Nisha Gera is an Ob/Gyn who runs her own clinic serving women only. Due to cultural issues and traditions, male CFHI participants are not able to rotate at this site. It is a private facility with both outpatient and inpatient facilities. Three students may rotate here at a time.

All rotations are subject to change depending on local availability. Local coordinators will make alternate arrangements if a particular activity or facility is not available during the program month.
