Curriculum

Our program's strength lies in our diverse faculty, who hope to foster a skill set or location of interest depending on the fellow. We want to guide and support fellows as they find their purpose in global health.

Masters in Public Health

Masters in public health will be in conjunction with the University of Michigan Online MPH. This program is currently focusing on strengthening fellows' global health focus with additional coursework and electives.
