Global Health Education
Overview
The Center for Global Health integrates global health education programming and faculty research initiatives within the Feinberg School of Medicine and encourages FSM students and McGaw residents to engage in global health in a meaningful way via research projects, supervised clinical rotations, and public health projects at both affiliated and unaffiliated universities, health clinics, and INGOs around the world. Global health opportunities teach students and residents invaluable lessons related to health equity, ethics, and cultural competency, among others. The Center also provides a space for NU faculty and research professionals to collaborate on global health research initiatives and new proposals.
The Center for Global Health supports its programs through affiliations with research and educational institutions from across the globe. Our current partners are:
