- Interested in global health or community-based primary health care?
- Want to explore a side of India that few outsiders ever see? (The rural areas of India are home to 68% of its population!)
- Want to experience real public health work in the field instead of a classroom?
- Want to visit a community health & development organization recently profiled in the National Geographic? http://ngm.nationalgeographic.

If so, then consider applying for this summer's 1 month course in community-based health and development at the Comprehensive Rural Health Project in Jamkhed, Maharashtra, India. Course runs from June 21 - July 19, 2010. Students from Downstate traveling to Jamkhed for the past 3 years have given excellent feedback on their experiences. Ten Downstate students have already taken this opportunity and references can be provided upon request. Applications will be accepted until April 1st but spots tend to fill up by mid-March so apply early to secure a seat. The course is open to medical, public and allied health students throughout the world and the class tends to be very diverse.
For more information, to download the brochure, read student comments, and to download the application, visit http://jamkhed.org/Allied.
If you're interested in applying or have additional questions, e-mail me (alexander.kaysin@downstate.edu) back as I will be holding an information session sometime in March or April. For more information about CRHP, you can search Jamkhed on Youtube or purchase the book, 'Jamkhed' on Amazon.
Good luck in the new semester!
