Expanding International Health Curriculum For The Internal Medicine Residency At Mmc, Brian King, Hassan Mahmoud, Anthony Pastore

Thinking Matters Symposium Archive

Our aim was to survey residents about their interest in added international health instruction and design an educational curriculum for these physicians.
