Abstract
During international medical electives the combination of clinical experiences and access to databases from health aid organizations provides the foundation for productive medical student research. All participants benefit from the relationships formed by aid organizations, medical students, and patient populations. Global health research has many complexities, but through careful planning and cultural awareness, medical students can increase their research skills and contribute to the medical literature, bringing attention to and improving health care policies around the world. In sum, the educational experience of medical students is enhanced through the interaction of delivering patient care and completing clinical research studies.
