Medical students and a faculty mentor from China’s Army Medical University traveled to our Tucson and Phoenix campuses to participate in a Clinical and Translational Research Program. Students were paired with Dr. John Ehiri, Professor and Department Chair of Health Promotion Sciences, who tailored a research project for each student aimed at enhancing their understanding of clinical and translational research. The program strengthened their appreciation for the role of health services research, as well as their understanding of Arizona's diversity and culture by providing opportunities for exposure to our community.
