Global Health

We aim to raise the level of health care for underserved populations worldwide by enhancing primary care through medical education, improving health systems management, and promoting research and evaluation.

In resource-poor areas, we’re converting scientific discoveries into practice, improving health and achieving health equity for people around the world.

We offer an experiential model for teaching cultural competency and recruiting medical students and residents who have a commitment to humanism and primary care careers.
