Global Health Scholars
Through the Global Health Scholars Program, we host talented physicians from our partner sites around the globe to undergo training in clinical medicine, epidemiology, and research at Nuvance Health while contributing to our personal and professional climate. They share their knowledge and perspectives with our communities through local presentations and hospital conferences, providing unique insights from other parts of the world. While with us, they are supported by our friends, colleagues, and global health community. On returning to their home countries, these scholars become drivers of change in medical education and patient care at their institutions while mentoring our global health participants during their electives. We are grateful for their participation in this unique program, and for their role in diversifying medical culture at our home institutions.
​
The Global Health Academy will arrange the 8-week observership and provide logistical, administrative, and financial support to our Global Health Scholars.
