Welcome To The Global Health Programs Office
Global Health Programs coordinates global activities of the School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and supports the international aspects of our research, educational, and service programs. Our activities include: (i) placement of Penn medical students in international rotations, and hosting of international medical students at Penn; (ii) recruitment of postdoctoral fellows who come from international institutions; (iii) facilitation of international research initiatives and sponsored programs undertaken by faculty of the School of Medicine; (iv) coordination of global activities with other schools of the University, and the Office of the Provost; (v) provision of information for faculty, students, and administration; and (vi) representation of the School of Medicine in interactions with international universities.
The GHP Office was opened on July 1, 2004 and benefits from the contributions of the Global Health Programs Advisory Committee. The Committee includes members from the faculty, administration, and trainees of the School of Medicine, plus key representatives from school and offices throughout the University of Pennsylvania. The Advisory Committee reviews various Global Health Programs activities and offers advice and suggestions. Please follow the GHP Advisory Committee link to learn more about the Committee.
