AMPATH Consortium Education

September Arrivals: two Brown internal medicine residents and one emergency medicine resident
IU Residents: an in-person orientation will take place for all IU residents traveling to Kenya during the next academic year on September 26th from 3-6PM.
Clinical Rotation Approval Process:
- If your institution plans to send trainees to Kenya during the next academic year, please contact Victoria Eder (vneder@iu.edu) to confirm ward availability.
- Once availability has been confirmed and at least 10 weeks in advance of the rotation, the trainee(s) should submit an AMPATH Kenya Visit Pre-Approval Form. This will be reviewed by the AMPATH Education team as a final check; once approved, the trainee may request housing and apply for a medical license.
