Update

Well, I am finishing up in Mbarara this week, heading back to Kampala hopefully Saturday. Things have been going well - I had the opportunity to meet the Dean of the medical school, Dr. Nansera (who has visited Wisconsin previously), and a variety of other people. Many of them are interested in collaborating but all of them are so busy and underpaid with their positions. It will be a matter of looking into funding sources when I get back to the U.S.

This medical school (MUST - Mbarara University of Science and Technology) has been a pioneer in "community based education" for medical students - getting them out of the city and into the villages. Hopefully some of our students will be able to visit here and join those visits to the villages to engage in public health activities at some point this year.
