All items on this page should be completed by UMass Chan students after departing on a global health experience.

1. During the global health experience

a. Student notifies OGH if there are any changes to your travel (such as your contact information, or locations where you are traveling)

This is necessary because the OGH needs to contact the student (e.g., in case of emergency, natural disaster, or U.S. State Department travel alert) the OGH may reach out to the student.

b. Student contacts their UMass Chan Elective Advisor once arriving at the final destination for the global health experience, in order to do the following

• • Inform the UMass Chan Elective Advisor that you have arrived safely, and
  • Come up with a plan for how often, and by what means of communication (e.g., skype, phone, internet) you will be communicating with each other based on the means of communication that are locally available

2. Near the completion of the global health experience

a. Student gives the Elective Evaluation Form to their Supervisor at the Host Institution

• • After completing the elective evaluation form the supervisor submits the evaluation in any of the following ways:
    • Mail, email, scan or fax the evaluation to Colleen Burnham in OUME
    • Give the evaluation to the student, who will then mail, email, scan or fax the evaluation to Colleen Burnham in OUME
  • Note: this step is only necessary if the global health experience is an elective in the 4th or 5th year

Student completes a draft Global Health Trip Report, and asks their UMass Chan Elective Advisor to review it

Student submits a final online Global Health Trip Report that incorporates any feedback from their UMass Chan Elective Advisor. The final Global Health Trip Report then may be made available to the UMass Chan community on the international medical education site on the UMass Chan Lamar Soutter eScholarship website

Note: student elective credit for a global health experience typically will only be given after the steps listed above have been complete.
