Background: KCMC is one of four referral hospitals and medical schools in Tanzania. DUMC has substantial clinical research collaborations with KCMC, and has placed medical students, residents and fellows there for training opportunities over the past 10 years. A full time faculty member, Dr. John Crump, is on-site and provides mentorship in research and training endeavors. |

Clinical Opportunities: Clinical Opportunities: DUMC trainees have joined the inpatient and outpatient clinical services for learning opportunities. They may join an inpatient service and care for patients with a spectrum of poverty-related diseases, especially tuberculosis, malaria and HIV infection. The outpatient clinic provides similar opportunities in a high volume setting. Similar experiences are available in pediatrics. Some trainees have also visited regional and local hospitals for a broader experience. |
Research: Substantial research efforts are underway in understanding HIV/AIDS and related complications in the region. These efforts address a broad range of subjects including voluntary testing and counseling, disease staging, pathogenesis, complications, antiretroviral therapy, and vaccine development. Funding for this research has been provided by the US National Institutes of Health, pharmaceutical industry, and private donors.
