What is Global Health?
Global Health looks at the wider influences of health, such as poverty, debt, globalisation, healthcare financing, human rights, famine, environment, conflict and the movement of populations
Ok, so what is the Global Health Education Project?
We want every medical student to be given the opportunity to learn about Global Health issues. This can occur through:
- Intercalated BScs
- SSCs
- Core Curriculum of Medicine
- Medsin Projects
- Medsin Campaigns
How can I get involved though?
Want to find out more about Global Health Issues? Then here are ten ways to go about it:
- Email Sunil & Abi to say that you are interested in global health issues
- Choose an SSC in global health related topic
- Intercalate in International Health
- Turn up for core lectures on global health issues
- Order a Global Health Resource pack (see below)
- Set up your dream Global Health SSC - eg on refugees, HIV/AIDS, debt etc.
- Set up an intercalated degree in International Health - it's really not as hard as it seems!
- Get involved in a Medsin Campaign or Project!
