Kristen Marten, Global Health Chief Resident

“The Global Health Track is a great part of our residency program. Over the last 3 years, I am blessed to have worked on a local-global project with Centro Hispano in Madison teaching new mothers about keeping their families healthy. The two week fundamentals course each year is something I always look forward to and always learn so much about treating those from other cultures both in Madison and abroad. The faculty involved are extremely dedicated and passionate. I'm also lucky to have the opportunity to travel to Uganda for a month in my third year, where I will work in a local hospital and also teach medical students and other providers. Thanks to the Global Health Program, I have a better understanding of how to treat children from other cultures that will serve me throughout my career.”
