GHI
Global Health Initiative (GHI)
Introduction
The Global Health Initiative (GHI) is a UBC student-led initiative involving students from a diverse range of backgrounds including Medicine, Dentistry, Arts, Science, Journalism, Engineering, Food and Nutritional Sciences, and Midwifery. GHI seeks to enhance global health education and provide hands-on skills training to UBC students via a series of monthly skill-building workshops. GHI also offers students the opportunity to participate in several global health projects in Uganda, India, Honduras, Kenya, and Canada. Further, GHI is working with faculty to develop core competencies and learning objectives that will be used to drive future curriculum development related to global health. Many students involved with GHI are also carrying out research projects and publishing their findings.[1]
