Course Objectives

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

• Demonstrate their growth into effective and ethical leaders and practitioners of global health

GHLT will be introduced to first year students during TIME: Disparities and Inequities in Health and Health Care in August. The program will begin in November of Year 1 and run through March of Year 4.
