Description
This program supports current Feinberg School of Medicine students at Northwestern University in undertaking long-term (6 to 12 months) global health projects in resource-limited international settings. The aim is to foster cross-cultural competencies, deepen understanding of social determinants of health, and provide immersive experiences in areas such as primary care, community health, maternal-child health, and broader public health issues. Projects must involve strong mentorship from both Northwestern and the host institution, and must be ethically sound and impactful.
