Preparing
Practitioners for Globalization
Our elective track in global health provides
medical residents and senior-level students in health-related
fields with leadership skills, competencies, and field experience.
In this way we prepare them to meet the future health care
needs of America’s increasingly diverse communities.
The track provides skill-based training and a modular interdisciplinary
curriculum on global health. To put learning into action,
participants engage in clinical fieldwork and applied research
projects that are developed with academic and community-based
partners in immigrant communities in New York and their countries
of origin.
CGH will offer a Global Health Track to
residents in internal medicine, emergency medicine, surgery,
pediatrics, psychiatry and obstetrics-gynecology at NYU School
of Medicine.
A basic graduate level course in epidemiology
is a prerequisite.
The Global Health Track will allow residents
to:
- Obtain a diploma in global health simultaneously
to completing their residency
- Complete a fully accredited residency
of their choice
- Receive training and coursework
related to global health
- Complete an international field rotation
in an underserved community and/or in an underserved community
in New York City
