You do not need to travel overseas in order to gain global health experience. There are several global health efforts taking place right here in Philadelphia.

For students interested in "glocal" health experiences, we recommend the following:

• The Chinatown Clinic provides medical care to new immigrants to the U.S. This is an excellent opportunity for those interested in continued global health experiences. Students do not just participate in patient care; they also see firsthand the impact that social, cultural and economic factors can have upon a patient's health, specifically in the Asian population. For more information, please contact the Office of Global Health or email Vincent Zarro, MD, at vincent.zarro@drexelmed.edu.
