in 2013, the GHD hosted the first ever EM rotation for Gambian Medical Students. 

​

​

“The development of emergency medicine over the years has had a significant impact on healthcare delivery in the United States and beyond. ...    The students who came to New York are outstanding and bright students who have a strong desire to make a difference in healthcare in their homeland.  It is the desire of our global health division to be able to foster a regular exchange of foreign medical students to introduce them to emergency medical care 

and place positive seeds in future healthcare providers in developing countries.”
