Global health program
You yearn for work that makes a difference and believe in the adage if you teach a person to fish, they will be fed for a lifetime.
You don't want to simply provide resources, you want to empower people, because you understand that health sets the foundation for individuals to live their best life possible.
Global public health professionals take on communities' most pressing health challenges. They work with underrepresented populations and strive to alleviate health disparities across the world.
Globally, medically vulnerable people face infectious, tropical, chronic and non-infectious disease, and the health threats don't stop there. Age-related illness, mental health issues and health-related consequences from climate change, violence and war are everyday realities.
"Our mission is without borders, and our program prepares you for your future as soon as you step foot in the classroom."
Professor Chunhuei Chi
