Explore Your Career Community

You can find many of the opportunities that align with this career community housed within the Center for Global Health (CGH). Another great person for you to meet is the Director of the CGH, Peter Blair.

Through the Center, you can participate in programming like Health Externship, Community Medicine, summer research and internships, the Intercultural Competence May Term, and EPIC Global Health opportunities in places like the Dominican Republic and Peru to gain experience and help you figure out what career is the right fit for you.

Various activities are also available through our student-led clubs: Health Club, MAPS, and HOSA. You can learn more about these under the organizations below.
