Past tours have gone to China, India, Thailand, the former U.S.S.R. and Cuba. The tour is organized by an AMSA member with expert knowledge of the country and is usually run in conjunction with local hospitals and health clinics.

The Interest Group assists the participants in fund raising and does not profit from the study tour. Brad Two other excellent proposals for trips to Cape Verde and Morocco are pending. This year the trips will be from June 14 - June 28. The trips are open to any health oriented students and the purpose is to learn about the healthcare systems and the state of human rights in these two fascinating countries. We have access to funding for Hopkins med students, however, we are not at the point that we can help participants with costs from other schools.
