About your instructor
Dr. Fredrick Allan Martin
I’m Dr. Fredrick Allan Martin, a Family Physician, Geriatrician, and former U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander with more than four decades of clinical experience. For 20+ years, I served as a Residency Director and Clinical Faculty Member, guiding medical students and residents through the transition from training to independent practice.
Since 2004, I’ve also led international medical teams in places like Malawi, Honduras, and Nepal. In these settings, I’ve worked alongside trainees in low-resource hospitals, teaching how to deliver safe, ethical, and respectful care when the usual tools aren’t available.
What I’ve seen over and over is this: the students and residents who prepare well—not just clinically, but also logistically and culturally—thrive abroad and return home with skills and stories that shape their entire careers.
That’s why I created Global Health Rotations Mastery—to give you the same guidance I’ve provided my residents for years: a step-by-step framework to plan your rotation, practice safely, and make the most of this life-changing experience.Â
“Global health isn’t just something I teach; it’s shaped who I am. My goal is to help you prepare with confidence and serve with humility.”
