Hi Hali, My name is Marian Yusuf and your name sounds familiar to me. Can you please send your email address to me so we can connect. I am in Toronto, Canada. Thanks Marian my email address: [log in to unmask] >>> [log in to unmask] 11/03/03 04:18pm >>> I work for a public health unit, Toi Te Ora Public Health (TTO), in Rotorua, New Zealand. Our organisation has created a "Public Health Overseas Experience" (OE) which is an opportunity for staff to gain relevant experience by working alongside a colleague in a related field in another country. The opportunity may be reciprocated with the international colleague being invited to work alongside the staff member in New Zealand (if they are interested). The organisation will subsidise the trip for the staff member, and if an international colleague is interested in coming to NZ then that staff member will host them at their home. So what it boils down to is a free worker for 1-3 months, and free room and board in NZ for the same period of time. My role within TTO is largely related to health promotion planning and evaluation, as well as public health unit strategic planning. However, we are also looking at getting more involved in working with local councils to undertake Health Impact Assessments. I am interested in applying for a Public Health OE in Canada - preferably in Ottawa or Kingston. If anyone works in a similar role, or knows of anyone who does, and is interested in exploring this opportunity please let me know and I can provide more information. It's a great opportunity to learn how public health units function down here and for a free place to stay while exploring a really neat country!
