The Red Tree Study is offering one fully-funded $3,900 scholarship opportunity on the ‘Community Health and Family Medicine in Colombia‘ course run by the Faculty of Medicine at Universidad de La Sabana in Colombia.

Participants will visit different health organisations, hospitals, and local welfare projects where they will benefit from practical training.
Taught in English, it will run for four weeks from Monday 12 June to Friday 7 July 2017.
