Medical Students

For medical students, there are typically two times when a global health experience is possible, during the summer between first and second years of medical school, or as an approved elective during the fourth year. We also provide guidance for resident physicians and fellows under GME, and facilitate global health clinical rotations.

Doctoral/Post-Doc Students

For doctoral and post-doctoral students, our programs enable advanced scholars to deepen their research, expand their impact, and accelerate their careers.
