Clinical Perspectives in Global Health
Initiated in fall 2017 as a second-year elective for Emory University School of Medicine students, the course was expanded in 2018 to include Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing students and Emory College students minoring in global health. The course introduces global health concepts to medical and nursing students during their pre-clinical years, and all students achieve core global health competencies through didactic sessions, skills workshops, and relevant clinical experiences. The course provides students with an introduction across these domains with an emphasis on the global burden of disease, globalization of health and healthcare, and health equity. The course is taught by an interprofessional team of Emory faculty and partnering international allied health professionals.
