Cross-cultural exchanges and cultural sensitization are the key aspects that underlie the exchange programmes.

The department, under the Medical College, currently runs institutional programmes with the University of Ghent, Belgium and the University of Groningen, Netherlands. Students have also had the opportunity of receiving enhanced learning through Overseas International Learning (OIL) programmes.
