Global Health Issues Field Course in South Africa

This program will allow you to explore a range of health issues and medical practices in South Africa through an interdisciplinary lens. An integrated learning model which incorporates both classroom and field instruction will help you understand the fundamental principle of health as a human rights issue. You will conduct collaborative research projects and participate in a three-night homestay in a village in the remote HaMakuya area of the Limpopo Province. This course will also explore the connections between the environment and human health, also known as One Health. The course will be capped off by an extended stay at OTS’ Skukuza Research Station in Kruger National Park, where you will deliver the results of your research project.
