Global Health Summer Schools

Recently we launched the flagship 'Global Health', a collaboration between UGlobe and UMCU focussing on improving health and achieving health equity for all people worldwide (click here to read more). As the goal is to work towards a healthier and more equitable world, we must join forces by sharing knowledge and experience. To this end Global Health is involved in several summer school courses.

The summer school courses range in topic, but center around connecting like-minded healthcare professionals, students, and enthusiasts to contribute to the advancement of global healthcare. As youth plays an important role in health(care) we would like to highlight summer school courses with a link to Global Youth. For an overview of all Global Health summer school courses, click here.
