Who Are We?

A dedicated team of Global Health Hospitalists known as the UCSF Global Health Core and interprofessional colleagues from the School of Pharmacy and School of Nursing at UCSF that seek to promote Global Health Equity and evolve the paradigm of how American health professionals engage in global health.GH.png

Mission:

To address, advocate and advance global health equity by transforming the paradigm of how health care professionals engage in global health.


What Are We About?

This course emerges out of the insight that the barrier to global health care delivery is not necessarily funding or knowledge of how to deliver health care: it is the ability to implement.  The ability to implement in resource poor settings entails not only the will to serve but also the expertise.
