Visit to Wollega Medical School ​13th April – 1st May 2015

In April 2015 a group of doctors, academics and students went to Ethiopia to develop and strengthen the partnership with Wollega university and students. As a student body we all applied for personal and professional reasons. Interests in global health and medical education, wanting to improve our teaching and understanding of other medical curricula. We developed an ethical scenario folder to help both localities develop their understanding of ethics and to allow them to gain a wider cultural view. This report elaborates on the ethical folder and other aspects of the trip. It also describes our own individual reflections.
