Study abroad in Russia for students with interests in medicine/health sciences

[Donnie Sendelbach]

Bill,

You might try contacting the Sister Cities program here in Appleton if  
you don't have any other leads.  Unfortunately, their website  
http://www.foxcitieskurgan.org/ has been down all weekend, and I  
couldn't find their number in the phone book.  There are doctors in the  
area, one being Montgomery Elmer, who have been extremely active in the  
program.  They've taken over medical equipment, had training on dealing  
with domestic violence, etc. in Kurgan.  Here's an article on him.

If this seems like the most promising prospect you have, let me know  
and I'll dig up more contact info for you.   They might be glad to have  
someone premed for an internship.  I wouldn't mind them getting  
interships started, either.  If you contact them on your own, let me  
know.

Thanks, ds
