We award one scholarship to doctors from Southeast Asia to attend the Asian Clinical Tropical Medicine Course held in Thailand and Cambodia. The training is co-hosted by the University of Minnesota, Mahidol University, University of Ottawa, Augusta University and Angkor Hospital for Children. IAMAT scholars attend an intensive course taught by Mahidol University faculty and international guest lecturers.

Clinical observations take place at various hospitals in Bangkok, including at Rajanagarindra Tropical Disease International Center near the Myanmar border and Angkor Hospital for Children in Siem Reap. The scholars gain expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases in an interactive small group learning environment.
