Faculty and students have participated in exchange opportunities at KNUST/KATH since 1998. Twelve different UofU specialty areas are working together with their Ghanaian counterparts in developing educational, service and research activities. This has been a broad based exchange program ranging from physician assistant training of primary care providers, public health activities in rural communities, to more specialized areas of ophthalmology, pediatrics, anesthesia, internal medicine, and emergency medicine.
Last year Utahans visited Ghana over 160 times and fifteen Ghanaian students and six Ghanaian faculty studied at the University of Utah.
