About this event

GlobeMed representatives will present an engaging session at MSU on Wednesday, Sept. 30 from 11:00 a.m.-noon in Room 210 of the Lloyd-Ricks-Watson building. Lunch will be provided to the first 45 people. Representatives will be available from noon-12:30 p.m. to speak with faculty, staff and students who are unable to attend the 11:00 a.m. session.

GlobeMed aims to strengthen the movement for global health equity by empowering students and communities to work together to improve the health of people living in poverty around the world. GlobeMed chapters partner with health organizations in countries throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America, contributing to one or more of six key areas of impact: Maternal Health, Water, Sanitation & Hygiene, Nutrition, Income Generation, Communicable Disease Prevention and Capacity Building.

In collaboration with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), GlobeMed launched the Global Health Fellows Program II (GHFP-II). GHFP II helps develop talented global health professionals that improve the effectiveness of USAID Population, Health, and Nutrition programs. GHFP-II achieves this with fellowships and internships with USAID and its partners around the world.
