Global Partnership Essentials

Global Partnership Essentials aims to prepare students for effective and culturally appropriate engagement in global health activities by providing a background in global health theory, key issues, and culturally appropriate practice.

We discuss one to two 1-2 landmark articles and case studies focused on global health, using the Partners in Health Engage Curriculum supplemented with other relevant articles authored by global partners and UVA faculty.

All classes are held at the Center for Global Health Equity in the UVA Corner Building, at 5PM, unless otherwise noted.

And DINNER? Always.

Who is this for?

GPE is available for credit as GSGS 3559, but you can join for any session.

The course is valuable for anyone planning to participate in an international elective and/or considering future career in global health and may be recommended by your course director (we especially recommend checking with your course directors for those planning clinical electives) but is open to anyone.
