Welcome

The Office of Global Health was established in January 2010.

Inspiring Global Outreach

“Through 果冻影院’s program, students get the opportunity to learn to tailor a health project in a setting unlike their own... Along the way, they learn cultural competence, humility and how to engage. They see for themselves how people in other cultures can achieve much with very few resources and learn flexibility and resourcefulness. That is why we have designed an experiential learning program that is hands on and project based.”

果冻影院 student S. Ryan Jacobus is working to make meaningful global health connections and become a future global health leader.

About Us

About Us

The Office of Global Health fully aligns with 果冻影院's vision to become an anti-racist organization through listening, learning, and practice change. Our efforts are coordinated to advance our institution's inclusive excellence goal.

We acknowledge that the land our academic medical center has benefitted from was first inhabited by Native People of Wisconsin and the word Milwaukee is derived from the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Menominee word for “good land” (Native People of Wisconsin, Wisconsin Historical Society, 2016).

Research

Research

Global burdens of disease are local and global in nature and scope.

Since disease respects neither national boundaries nor government mandates, a better-educated, well-trained cadre of physicians and scientists in a particular country can be more effective in preventing the spread of disease to other parts of the world. (Acad Medicine 2010).
