Pathway to Discovery in Global Health
Course Offerings
The Pathway to Discovery in Global Health presently offers the following courses. Future additions will be developed as the program continues to grow.
Introduction to Global Health (GHS 101A (Wi Q), GHS 101B (Sp Q)). A longitudinal offering in the Winter and Spring Quarters, this course will be developed over the next three years with a grant from the Fogarty International Center. The course will review basic topics in global health through lecture format and promote interdisciplinary projects.
Global Health Pathway Project Development (previously named IDS 140.10, to be designated GHS 103 in 2009 (Su Q)). Advanced pathways trainees take this summer course in conjunction with Designing Clinical Research for Pre-doctoral Students (Epi 150.03). This course will explore key global health issues and concepts in-depth, in the context of projects that participants have completed or are working on.
The Global Health Clinical Scholars Program (GHCSP) is an ongoing program, now in its third year, for the resident/graduate level trainees of all UCSF schools. For those trainees in residencies or graduate degree programs, information about the GHCSP can be found here.
Starting in fall 2009, a Longitudinal Seminar Series for all pathways students will allow advanced topics to be taught and will require those students working on projects to present their work and get feedback. The series will meet twice a month, and attendance and participation in a minimum number of these sessions will be required for Pathways completion.
