Intermediate Term Training
Intermediate-term training consists of a one-semester (five-month)
training period at The University of Iowa for five trainees annually.
An international committee reviews, interviews, and selects trainees
from among applicants in the participating countries – usually
coming from the participating institutions. Selected trainees have been
identified as potential or current leaders in their disciplines and
institutions.
Once chosen, each trainee’s home institution makes a commitment
to retain and support him or her during their absence and to provide
round-trip airfare to the U.S. Trainees arrive several weeks before
the fall semester (trainees from The Gambia come in the spring semester)
in order to participate in orientation activities, seminars and workshops.
Trainees enroll for a minimum of three courses (nine graduate credit
hours) during the semester as a special student at The University of
Iowa. Courses usually taken include epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental
health, environmental toxicology, occupational health, occupational
ergonomics, agricultural medicine, introduction to health care systems,
and others.
