SARS-CoV2 dropped a wall between nations<br />
and pushed global health education<br />
programs into hibernation. Although the<br />
University of Vermont and Makerere University<br />
College of Health Sciences continued to work<br />
together virtually, there was still something<br />
missing: physical meetings, eating together,<br />
hugging, and eye contact.<br />
After several months of planning, four rising second-year medical students arrived<br />
in Uganda, accompanied by two faculty from University of Vermont to help<br />
them settle into their new learning environment, for a global health education<br />
placement. To renew commitment with MakCHS, the faculty met with several<br />
people in administration.<br />
The first meeting was with the Head of the Department of Pediatrics together<br />
with the Students’ Training Coordinator, Associate Professor Nicolette Nabukera.<br />
Participants from MakCHS expressed desire to work with the University of Vermont<br />
Department of Pediatrics in areas of graduate students and staff training as well<br />
as capacity enhancement and research. The Department has over 70 graduate<br />
students and has sub-specialty training programmes for fellowships including<br />
hematology and Neonatology.<br />
