Objective: To describe the components of the WCMC global health elective and to evaluate the experiences of the participants. Methods: Subjects were WCMC residents in internal medicine and pediatrics from the graduating classes of 2007–2009. Electronic surveys were sent to all participants (n  = 57) and to a group of nonparticipants (n  =  57). Results: Overall response rate was 58%. The most-selected, primary reasons for participation in the program were an interest in global health and a desire to serve an underprivileged population. Participants rated use of routine laboratory tests in the United States as more overused than did nonparticipants (P  =  .01). After the elective, 62% of participants reported a reduced use of laboratory and/or radiologic tests. All participants (100%; 39 of 39) reported the elective as having a positive effect on their knowledge of international health and tropical medicine. More than 90% of participants (36 of 39) reported the elective as having a positive effect on their physical examination skills. Conclusions: Participants of the WCMC global health elective report positive experiences from our multidimensional global health collaboration.
