UTAH public health students traveled to Thailand in June to observe first-hand the health issues of a developing nation.
The University of Utah's Physician Assistant and Public Health programs have been sending students to developing nations for several years, but the Thailand trip was the first international elective course for which the students received academic credit.
University of Utah students have also conducted public health work in the African nation of Mali (see The Nation's Health May 2004 issue).
