• Expanded a Local Global Health Elective, providing trainees with clinical and nonclinical community-based experiences through partner programs in Greater New Haven.
• Continued to run the Global Health and Equity Distinction Pathway to support global health
• clinical, didactic, and scholarship experiences for current trainees in the Department of Internal Medicine.
• Made the most of opportunities to learn and discuss humanitarian emergencies and other important topics in global health through Global Health Day and other events.
