"The greatest single challenge facing our globalized world is to combat and eradicate its disparities"

                                          Nelson Mandela

Encouraging Activism in Global Health

The Center for Global Health (CGH) at the University of Colorado Denver serves to improve health and healthcare in communities around the world, through interdisciplinary collaboration with partners in research, education and health services.

Much of our current activity focuses on the education of physicians in the developing world and the preparation of U.S. students and health professionals for global health work.  The Center supports the Global Health Track of the School of Medicine which currently has fifty-four participants, as well as a variety of course offerings in global health topics.  We are working to develop similar programs in other health profession schools and graduate schools at the University of Colorado Denver. 

The Center has programs and relationships in various countries, such as a USAID-sponsored program with the National University of Rwanda to enhance their current residency programs and implement a family medicine residency, an exchange program with Colima University in Mexico, and ongoing relationships with universities or programs in Peru, Ecuador, Botswana, Jordan and others.

The Center provides consultation services to corporations working and organizations delivering education in health professions in the developing world.
