Rotation opportunities out of the country

[No Doctor]

I was wondering if any current pharmacy students know of any opportunities to do rotations outside of the country, specifically in third world nations. I am interested in using pharmacy as a means to bring education and health care management to underdeveloped countries. Are there opportunities do possibly do rotations with the World Health Organization or with various NGO's in Africa?

International rotations seem to really depend on the school. Some have things already set up and others do not.

There are internships through IPSF (the International Pharmacy Student Federation), an affiliate of APhA. They offer an internship with the WHO and offer placements with schools in foreign countries during the summer. IPSF also hosts international pharmacy conferences that may provide insight as well.
