Abstract
There is increasing interest in US Medical schools in starting teaching programs in global settings. The University of Miami department of Family Medicine has been involved for the past 15 years in developing a training program in family medicine in Haiti. This experience, its challenges and accomplishments are reported. The creation and development of plastic surgery training in Haiti could greatly benefit from this pioneering effort.
