Starting in 1999, Columbia University medical and public health students began to do global health rotations in La Romana, giving birth to a program at the Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons that in 2013 became formalized as The Program for Education in Global and Population Health.
Today, global health experiences at Clínica de Familia La Romana are offered to international, Dominican, and U.S. volunteers, trainees, and students in medicine, public health, nursing, psychology, social work and other health science fields The program aims to enhance cultural competence, knowledge of HIV care and treatment, and improve care for vulnerable populations in the Dominican Republic.
