FHM will serve as the community partner to four Duke University Student Research Training (SRT) Program students. Working with a faculty director and a community partner, students will be at the center of global health challenges and have the opportunity to employ skills learned in the classroom in the community.
The SRT program is “an intensive experiential learning program that engages second and third year undergraduate students in the development, implementation and assessment of a community-based project.” This summer, FHM will oversee four SRT student work in Leogane, Haiti. Their research will consist of community surveys and health assessments. The SRT students will go out into the community to conduct two separate research projects:
Both research projects have been approved by the Duke and Haitian IRBs and will run from June 2 – July 25, 2014.
