PA working or whom have completed Tropical Med rotation

[jhunter424]

Hello everyone,

 

I was wondering if anyone has completed a clinical rotation in Tropical medicine? I am very interested to finding a way to do this because I plan on staying in Hawaii after I finish my rotations there. Any input on the topic would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you!

Probably better to do a postgrad tropical med certificate program. there are some online and many on site programs. check out the american society of tropical medicine and hygiene. if in oregon there is a great program at ohsu.

 I didn't even think to look for a post-degree certificate program. Thank you very much for this information.
