A minimum of 12 clinic hours will be completed during the rotation and opportunities may include travel medicine, family medicine or flight medicine. A minimum security clearance of SECRET is required.  You will need a no-fee (official) passport 

Objectives for the rotation include:

--Understand global health engagements in the military and civilian sectors --Participate in deployment and travel clearance processes for military members --Learn and utilize CDC/WHO guidelines for international travel to include destinations in Africa --Exposure to policy guidelines such as the National Action Plan and appreciation for how this impacts DoD operations

****Please be aware that our clinic rotations are very demanding as we are often only able to see only Active Duty here ... so rotations like Derm - expect to work full days and be prepared to learn. 

You will be given time off to enjoy being in Europe. On inpatient rotations expect at least 1 long weekend for travel. On outpatient rotations you will be expected to be there when the attending is there.

In Europe, most places are closed on Sunday, it is a family day.
