The Yale/Johnson & Johnson Physician Scholars in International
Health will annually select up to 15 physician-in-training scholars
from institutions outside of Yale during their residency and
15 career physician scholars for 4 to 8 week rotations in overseas
sites. Rotations are largely directed at clinical experiences,
service and teaching, as opposed to research.
Based upon site assignment, Yale/Johnson & Johnson physician
scholars will receive upon completion of the rotation, a travel
award ranging from $1,000 - $5,000 (maximum). This financial support
will serve as partial or full reimbursement for travel and living
expenses incurred during the rotation. All scholars are required
to participate in program evaluation upon completion of the rotation.
| Field Experience leading to Certification in Clinical Tropical Medicine and Travelers Health |
 |
The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH)
encourages professional development in the fields of clinical
tropical medicine and travelers health, having established a
mechanism for individual certification. The ASTMH has also certified
training programs and administers an examination leading to
the Certificate of Knowledge in Clinical Tropical Medicine and
Travelers' Health. Their diploma course pathway for individual
certification includes a requirement of "two months cumulative
experience working overseas in a patient care setting in the
tropics." Experience gained as a Yale/Johnson & Johnson
Physician Scholar in International Health will fill all or part
of this requirement and facilitate certification once other
criteria are met. Additional information on the ASTMH certification
process can be obtained by visiting the ASTMH web site at www.astmh.org/certification.html
