The Dominican Republic Project is undertaken in collaboration of the UMDNJ School of Public Health with Crossroads, a nondenominational outreach mission that provides housing and nutritional programs to persons living in the “bateyes” of the North Coast of the Dominican Republic. Students and faculty plan specific public health interventions and obtain the resources necessary to implement them prior to their visit to the Dominican Republic. Typical projects include parasite control programs, primary care clinics, health education programs, and assistance in nutrition and sanitation projects.
