Global Health
(Under Construction)
Embedded Files
Welcome to the Global Health elective! Above you have links to the pre-elective (track) requirements and elective requirements (readings and lectures). There are also additional lectures and reading if you are interested. The track is designed to cover a more global picture to global health (ie public health) and the elective is more focused on individual medical topics. Below are listed the checklist before travel and then topic pages that you can review if you desire; some of these go into significant more detail than is required for this course but may be particularly helpful if you are planning to get your Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene or CTropMed. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Brittany Koy or Kevin Watkins
