Abstract:

An international partnership was initiated focused on developing a multidisciplinary international internship for US undergraduate students, create a multidisciplinary field experience for Ugandan students, and foster research collaborations. Outcomes include increased perceived cultural competence, comfort working with individuals from diverse background, co-authored manuscripts and presentations and a memorandum of understanding for exchanges, and research collaborations. Keys to the success of the program were having a shared vision, responsibility, and commitment to the program, and communication about goals, expectations, and expected benefits. The next program builds on the lessons learned to improve the experience for students and faculty for future programs.
