WUSM Global Health and Medicine (originally the Forum for International Health and Tropical Medicine) is a student group that works to give the medical community a first-hand look at international health concerns.
WUSM Global Health and Medicine provides funding for:
- International rotations for fourth-year medical students
- Alternative spring break trips to a country in Central or South America for second-year students
Each spring, WUSM Global Health and Medicine hosts a Global Health Symposium that not only provides the opportunity to hear from an expert in the area of international health care, but from medical students who have done rotations abroad.
