In this weekend course, taught by SIEAM faculty, Jen Resnick, a practitioner with years of field experience working in medically-underserved communities around the world, students will learn about the use of acupuncture in a global health setting. The students will gain knowledge about how to engage with these communities and about the benefit that can be provided by strategic partnerships to improve the health of the local population. Students will also receive training on the basic logistical plans needed to start this type of project.  Participants will
