Where We Work
Faculty and staff from the Johns Hopkins Center for Global Emergency Care (CGEC) have had the opportunity to work across a wide range of partners, countries, and programs. Through these collaborations, CGEC engages closely with partners across the Johns Hopkins ecosystem, including Johns Hopkins Medicine International and Jhpiego, to strengthen emergency care systems, advance research, and support training programs globally.
In addition to these institutional partnerships, CGEC maintains longstanding collaborative relationships with several key international academic and clinical sites, supporting research, education, and capacity-building in emergency and critical care.
