Partnership for Eritrea: In the fall of 2006, The George Washington University Medical Center, Physicians for Peace, and the Ministry of Health of Eritrea signed a Memorandum of Agreement to establish post-graduate training programs for physicians in Surgery and Pediatrics. The program was inaugurated in December 2007 and the first class of residents started their training in January 2008. The OB/GYN residency will launch in the summer of 2009 in collaboration with Columbia University Medical Center, and collaboration with Johns Hopkins University Medical Center and Yale University Medical Center for the Anesthesiology and Internal Medicine residencies respectively is underway.

Orotta School of Medicine: IMP established a relationship with the Orotta School of Medicine in Eritrea during 2008. Opened in 2003, Orotta is the first medical school in this east-African nation. Through GWUMC’s efforts with the Partnership for Eritrea, Orotta Medical School students will begin residencies in the country’s first graduate medical education programs when they graduate. IMP’s partnership with Orotta School of Medicine also allows GW fourth-year medical students to spend time in Eritrea doing clinical electives.
