This program provides a comparison of urban and rural healthcare practices in Ecuador by splitting interns’ time between the Andean capital of Quito and the smaller town of Puyo on the edge of the Amazon Basin. Interns may also choose to focus their program in one location rather than both. Interns will rotate through a variety of clinics and hospitals, as well as participating in home visits, encouraging a comprehensive view of care in each area.
