List of Hosting institutions for
International Field Experience and Special Projects
As of
November 2008, academic contacts, which would facilitate an
IFE or Special project, exist to the institutions listed
below.
Note:
I will
contact the colleagues from these institutions
only
if a student is interested in going to these institutions. I
will then ask them if it is possible to do the field
experience (FE). The departments are primarily working in
Occupational & Environmental Health and in Community Health,
which includes a much wider spectrum (such as Mother & Child
Health, Infectious Diseases). Depending on the topic, the
student proposes I might be able to contact other faculty
from the corresponding departments in these universities and
find a preceptor there. Please contact me with questions or
suggestions for FE. N Wagner
