Jefferson Latin America Consortium

The Jefferson Latin America Consortium currently has an active collaboration with Colombia, which goes far in advancing Jefferson’s global mission and is viewed as modeling for future collaborations within institutions across Central and South America. Working with academic and health-based organizations and institutions in Central and South America, the Jefferson Latin America Consortium seeks to be an incubator for projects, clinical and research program development, collaborations, and the fostering of student and faculty exchanges.
