Dornsife's Office of Global Health is dedicated to building a cadre of practitioners and scientists who approach health program planning and scientific questions from a multidisciplinary and entrepreneurial perspective.

The Office of Global Health educates and trains new leaders, scholars, and researchers to address current and emerging global public health issues facing the world today.

We place priority on strengthening public health systems and the public health workforce globally and locally. We work closely with ministries of health, NGOs, academic institutions and low and middle income country partners to develop mutually beneficial capacity building, training, and research collaborations.

The Office of Global Health encourages students to take advantage of learning opportunities, academic and public health practice partnerships, and field experiences to address global public health issues in key regions, such as Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean Islands and also underserved communities within the United States.

Join Our Global Health Interest Network

The Office of Global Health launched our Global Health Interest Network in March 2021 to highlight events and news on the latest global health issues.

Grounded in the school’s tenants of health, human rights, social justice and community collaboration, the Global Health Interest Network aims to bring together Drexel and the broader Philadelphia community to learn about and discuss key and emerging topics.

Events include webinars discussing health services and COVID-19 disruptions and post-pandemic health systems, networking events, and “meet-and-greets” with global health experts.
