Global Health Interest Group
We aim to educate the student body about global health, while promoting interest and advocacy.
We help to organize travel abroad opportunities for medical students, which are offered in the form of medical brigades over spring and winter breaks as well as 4th year away rotations.
We advocate for first- and second-year medical students to take supplemental courses in global health, public health and refugee health.
