New Summer Research Program in Global Health
The Center for Global Health at the Institute for Public Health is starting a new Summer Research Program in Global Health (SRPGH) to offer students the opportunity to work closely with outstanding faculty mentors focusing on global health.
The SRPGH is an eight-week program open to: full-time college undergraduates; graduate students pursuing a Master in Public Health (MPH), Social Work (MSW), or Population Health Sciences (MPHS); and medical students looking to gain experience in the field of global health research. The goal of the program is to expose young investigators to research in a lab or field-based setting and further their interest in global health. The program includes didactic sessions and seminars, and is an opportunity to establish a career-building network.
