Education Abroad Programs
 

TDI Initiated it s education abroad programs in 1995, with the Medical Entomology workshop, lead by Dr. Romoser. Since then, more than 210 students from more than 30 universities in the USA, Europe and New Zealand have participated in the annual programs offered by the Institute. The experience accumulated by our faculty and staff allows us to offer a profound and safe experience to participants.

 

TDI programs are multidisciplinary and are open to undergraduate, graduate and medical students from any University. Opportunities for internships are also available within TDI sponsored research projects.
