What is GHC Fieldwork?
GHC fieldwork is designed to give students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the field of global health. The goal of GHC fieldwork projects is to provide students with in-depth interactions that lead to an understanding of the social contexts of health in underserved populations. Students participate in a broad range of projects according to each student’s interest. Fulfilling the goal of GHC fieldwork requires working at the population-level, ideally within a community. Examples of global health-related projects that would not count as fieldwork include; laboratory research, an internship with WHO in Geneva.
