The Einterz Global Health Education Fund endowment – named in honor of AMPATH founders Bob and Lea Anne Einterz – is expanding AMPATH’s medical exchange program training global health leaders that began in 1990.
Please make a gift to support a medical exchange student. Your gift will be matched $1 for every $2 you donate until we reach the goal of $1,500,000 to fund 15 student scholarships.
The impact of AMPATH exchanges is powerful and sustaining. Trainees at IU in 2023 share:
“A big thank you for supporting my academics and our elective program in Indiana University last summer. It’s because of you and the Einterz Fund that my colleagues and I were able to do this incredible program.” - Mathews Apopo, 5th year Moi medical student
“I want to be a part of the bridge that connects where we are back home (in Kenya) with where Riley (Hospital for Children in Indiana) is at as of the year 2023. The gap is so big, literally ages apart! I want to contribute in providing options for the children back home who would have survived had they been cared for at Riley.” - Brenda Chepkoech, pediatric registrar at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital
The Einterz Global Health Education Fund endowment can support training exchange scholarships for Kenyan medical students and registrars (residents) to study at IU. It also could be used for IU trainees for two-month rotations in Eldoret, Kenya and beyond with hands-on experience in hospitals and urban and rural clinical sites. These life-changing experiences providing care and engaging in research are igniting the potential of more young leaders in global health.
In 1990, Bob was the first IU Team Leader in Kenya with Lea Anne and their young family by his side. Bob served as the first director of the AMPATH Consortium and the IU Center for Global Health.
