Description: This pathway will provide select students with the opportunity to expand their focus beyond domestic borders and contribute to the strengthening of health and surgical systems at a global level. Students will develop skills within global health and surgery to perform research and advocacy work. This pathway is open to all students interested in global health with non-surgical or surgical interests.
Key to the work of academic global health and surgery is equitable and long-term collaboration with low and middle income stakeholders. This pathway will allow for student-led research and innovation in partnership with local leaders to learn about access to health and surgical care, including timeliness, capacity, safety and affordability. The program in some cases will build on existing University of Miami partnerships. In others, it will contribute to the formation of strong relationships in other parts of the world, with the goal of equalizing access to the best standards and treatment options for patients regardless of their income level or place of residence in the world. Some examples of past lecture topics include Global Health Ethics, International Research Ethics in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC), Global Macroeconomics, Global Health Equity, Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, and Global Surgery.
