The Practitioner’s Guide to Global Health

Most global health experiences are safe and effective, however without proper preparation and debriefing, problems can occur. This is a 3-part timeline-based course designed to help you prepare for a global health learning, work, or volunteer experience that is safe, culturally sensitive, and maximizes benefit to both you and the host population you’re visiting. It has been created by a diverse team of experts who are passionate about global health and have come together to share their experiences and advice.

The 3 parts of The Practitioner’s Guide to Global Health are:

• The Big Picture (3 hours)
• Preparation and On The Ground (4 hours)
• Reflection (2 hours)

No previous global health or healthcare experience is required.
