Description
The Global Health Experience Awards, administered by the Havey Institute for Global Health at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, provide funding for Feinberg students (MD, DPT, PA, MPH dual-degree) and McGaw residents to pursue hands-on clinical electives, research, and public health projects in low- and middle-income countries.
