For the last seven years students and faculty from Thomas Jefferson University, including students from Jefferson Medical College (JMC) and the Schools of Nursing, Population Health and Health Professions, have traveled to Rwanda to understand the culture and provide assistance with the healthcare needs of the people of the village of Rugerero, a genocide-survivor village in Northwest Rwanda. Currently three Rwandan medical students are in Philadelphia to learn from Jefferson physicians and share the experience of being a medical student with their American counterparts.
