Global Health Education is a huge term that covers many things in pursuit of Students for Global health’s vision: a fair and just world in which equity in health is a reality for all.

Our initiatives include:

  • Global Health in Higher Education – monitoring and advocating for global health education to be part of healthcare curriculum and formally available within higher education, including our work on the Global Health Research League Table
  • Responsible placements– Ensuring that all research projects and placements abroad are ethical; supporting IFMSA exchanges and student health partnerships.
  • Global Health Education in Schools – Aims to ensure students leave school as global health advocates, ready to fight health inequality and social injustice locally, nationally and globally
  • Global Health Short Courses – Branches run incredible courses to inspire their peers to become global health advocates
  • Global Health Education Training – to empower branches to feel confident in delivering GHE initiatives at a local level.

We aim to achieve our initiatives through:

  • Online toolkits – toolkits exist for to assist branches in projects around advocacy and running short courses.
  • Resources and opportunities – Sharing, supporting and creating resources through our wonderful branches
  • Sharing opportunities – sharing opportunities both within and outside of Medsin through email, the newsletter, the Advocate, and the Global Health Education facebook group
