SHEBAYidnekachew’s project is titled Sexual Health Education for Better Awareness (SHEBA). SHEBA uses volunteer medical students from Ethiopia and Denmark to deliver youth-friendly, comprehensive sexual education. The project has trained 54 medical students as peer educators and has trained 240 rural high school students to become SHEBA trainers and sensitize their communities regarding sexual and reproductive health and rights. “Promoting quality medical education and health care worldwide are core to the ECFMG/FAIMER mission,” said William W. Pinsky, MD, President and CEO of ECFMG and Board Chair of FAIMER. Since the competition was launched in 2015, ECFMG/FAIMER has presented Student Projects for Health awards to 75 students from 22 countries.
