The International Scholar Laureate Program Delegation on Medicine in India provides scholars with the opportunity to discover this ancient and diverse 5,000 year old culture in a way that is simply not possible in a classroom. International delegates will visit the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, India's premier medical university, where they will network with Indian students and faculty and come face-to-face with the key issues and challenges that future medical professionals will encounter in this rapidly growing nation.
Scholars examine prominent forms of alternative health care, including ayurvedic medicine, as well as the role yoga plays in mind-body healing.
A visit to the Jaipur Foot Factory will enable scholars to see the design, manufacture and fitting of low-cost and innovative artificial limbs, a major breakthrough that is changing life for tens of thousands of people in India and around the globe.
Scholars also explore the thriving city of Delhi, take in the majesty of the Taj Mahal at Agra, and ride jeeps in the ancient capital of Jaipur.
These are just a few of the opportunities awaiting scholars on this 11-day journey.
