In-person workshop for 2025
​
We are excited to be able to bring people together to collaborate and strengthen their global health courses and programs and to learn and share with our community of educators.
​
​
The summer institute allows participants to spend time dedicated towards their specific project - whether developing a new course, revising or adding a module to an existing course, integrating experiential programming into a course or program, conducting a program self-study, integrating global health into a disciplinary program, starting a fully new program, or other initiative.
​​
Each summer institute is unique. We bring national and global experts to engage participants in current topical areas that may complement or enhance their project. Past institutes have focused on decolonization of global health, course and program assessment, integrating experiential learning into programs, and developing a community of global health educators. Many participants have attended all of our programs.
The 2025 summer institute has a phenomenal lineup with expert educators who are excited to work with participants from:
-
Planetary Health Alliance
-
Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (the host for the Global Burden of Disease project)
-
The Pulitzer Center!
