| Project Summary | The UBC Students' Global Health Initiative (GHI) is an innovative student-driven project that will provide a comprehensive set of learning modules and materials within the broader framework of a complete global health curriculum. With Year 1 TLEF funds, we validated the effectiveness of our methodology for student involvement, mentorship, knowledge transfer and continuity. Year 2 used three components to increase our capacity and scope: 1) global health skill-building workshop series; 2) student hands-on participation in global health projects and 3) engagement of students involved in 1 and 2 to promote awareness, achieve knowledge transfer and drive curriculum development. With Year 3 funding we will put our consensus learning objectives into practice through development of a comprehensive global health curriculum for the UBC MD undergraduate program. We will also make global health learning materials, activities, and projects more accessible to the wider UBC community by launching a website. |
