Foundations of Global Health 1 course

This innovative, consortium-offered course brings together the students from all partner universities to develop a broad understanding of the concepts and processes of global health critical policy analysis. It is further enhanced by bringing together students from various backgrounds and expertise to mirror real-world global health work.

“The Foundation 1 course provided a valuable experience in my academic journey. Collaborating with peers from diverse regions and cultural backgrounds fostered a dynamic and engaging learning environment. Working alongside individuals with varied perspectives on global health issues highlighted the importance of understanding and respecting diverse opinions in teamwork.

The course further strengthened my critical thinking skills by promoting the assessment of global health policy challenges from intersecting global, national, and local perspectives. Analyzing health issues through social, economic, political, and cultural lenses proved particularly insightful and enhanced my capacity to evaluate policies and contribute meaningfully to global health discussions.”
