I'll be going to Ghana for 3 weeks this summer and I'm interested in doing research while I'm there. Has anyone gone overseas and done research? Has anyone done research over such a short period of time? I'm a P2, with very little experience doing research of any kind. Basically, I'm thinking either a retrospective chart study or patient/hospital staff survey. Any tips?

IRB is going to be a pain in the butt, and you'd most likely need to contact Ghana ministry of health if its health related and involving citizen of that country.
