Pathway to Discovery in Global Health
The vision of The Pathway to Discovery in Global Health at UCSF is to support and develop lifetime commitments to decreasing the health inequities and disparities in populations throughout the world.
The goals of the global health pathway are:
- To prepare UCSF undergraduate and graduate trainees to be successful in global health careers.
- To support collaborative projects across disciplines and schools.
The program will achieve these goals by offering courses and educational opportunities to build a background understanding of the vocabulary, problems, and concepts in global health, and to develop tools for success in global health careers. The experiential focus of the program will be a mentored project in an underserved population.
Successful graduates of this program will pursue academic careers in global health and research, careers in global health medical education, careers in agencies such as the WHO, CDC, USAID, project officers in Foundations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates or the Clinton Foundations, or combinations of the above.
