This provided me with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the problems in health and health care from a totally different perspective. Learning about both the differences and the similarities between India and the U.S. was eye-opening."

2013 Winter Institute student

"The participants and the faculty were so friendly that it helped to break all the regional and cultural barriers. All of us worked as a team to develop the project ideas."

– Dr. Blesson, junior research fellow, ICMR
2013 Winter Institute student

"I learned how to work with a diverse team of doctors, psychologists, statisticians dentists, physical therapists, biologists, community leaders and many others. Learning to see things from multiple perspectives is an asset and having more practice with compromise and teamwork is something every profession will need."
