Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is a beautiful country with one of the best medical education systems in the world. The main language is English, and faculty and residents are among the best-trained and educated in the world. Students live in apartments within the hospital. Harare is famous for its many sculptures, gorgeous landscapes, and national parks, including Victoria Falls.
About the Leadership
Chiratidzo “Rati” Ellen Ndlovu, Director of the Global Health Program at UZCHS and recipient of the 2018 Consortium of Universities in Global Health Velji Global Health Education Award; Rengarirai masanganise, Dean of UZACHS; and Dr. Shalote Chipamaunga, Senior Lecturer at the Department for Health Professions Education at UZCHS together comprise a strong and skilled leadership team.
About the Institution
Our partner in Zimbabwe is University of Zimbabwe College of Health Sciences (UZCHS), Zimbabwe’s only medical school. Parirenyatwa Hospital, a 2,000-bed facility with many satellite clinics, labs, and hospitals, and Harare Hospital, a 1,200-bed facility nearby, serve as teaching hospitals for UZCHS, with shuttle transportation between them. Students are housed on the Parirenyatwa campus across from the hospital.
About the Clinical Experience
Participants are exposed to a diverse array of conditions and tropical diseases in the medical center. The site offers particularly strong education and training in HIV medicine, as many patients with advanced HIV and HIV-related diseases are cared for at university hospitals.
