International efforts will be organized around three main areas where applicable: 1) public health assessment; 2) facility management and consultation; and 3) policy management.
The IRHTF trip will include on-site visits with rural health professionals, opportunities to experience firsthand the barriers to care for the rural population, and time to collaborate on best practices for rural care with foreign counterparts.
