Child Family Health International (CFHI):

Child Family Health International www.cfhi.org, is the leading nonprofit 
providing educational Global Health Programs for students pursing fields 
in the health professions. CFHI programs allow participants to build 
skills and insight working alongside local physicians and public health 
experts in developing countries. As a nonprofit, CFHI structures its 
programs so funds and resources are funneled back into local 
communities, resulting in a sustainable and socially responsible program 
model. Through CFHI participants go on 1 to 3 month placements with 
physicians in developing countries working in underserved communities. 
Participants rotate through local clinics and hospitals, attend medical 
lectures, and become immersed in the healthcare system of the community. 
CFHI has 20+ sites throughout Bolivia, Ecuador, India, Mexico, and South 
Africa which are open to students of the health sciences from any country:
