"The Latinx Health Internship Program, a partnership between UC Davis Study Abroad (a unit of Global Affairs) and Child Health Family International, has been named “Diversity and Inclusion Champion” in international education for 2019.

The once-a-year, quarter-long program in Oaxaca, Mexico, enrolls up to 32 students for coursework and internships that provide the opportunity to learn about global health in a local context. In the internships, arranged by Child Health Family International, or CFHI, the students are non-clinician observers in rotations and other clinic activities — i.e., the students shadow the clinicians. CFHI is a nongovernmental organization (nonprofit, not affiliated with any government).

The “champion” title is from the Berkeley-based Diversity Abroad Network, a consortium of educational institutions, government agencies, and for-profit and nonprofit organizations, working to advance policies and practices in support of access, diversity, equity and inclusion in global education and exchanges."
