address specific disparities existing among several countries’ healthcare systems. These reports are in professional written report format, not PowerPoint.

• Each student picks a geographic region with at least three countries (not in North America) and investigates health care in the context of:

o Poverty

o Public and professional education

o Distribution of providers by specialties and educational levels

o Allocation of resources (including locations of medical facilities and providers)

o Overall management of the health care by government as well as other political, social, and economic factors.

It will be important to investigate and document links between poverty, education, and accessibility to the quality of health care and delivery.
