SIT Study Abroad: Kenya: Global Health and Human Rights

Explore comparative health care, health management policies, surveillance, and management of tropical diseases in East Africa. Western Kenya allows students unparalleled access to distinguished medical professionals, scholars, scientists, and community health workers who are working on the frontline to address tropical diseases, and the health system that supports them. Learn Kiswahili, conduct field research, and gain practical skills through an internship or Independent Study Project, while observing how communities address pressing health challenges.

HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT

"I gained a new way of looking at the world through this program; the cultural immersion experience helped me understand what daily life is like in a low-income country. The independent study was definitely a highlight for me because I had clear academic goals and a topic that I wanted to explore; SIT provided all the resources, connections and support to make the research possible."
