U.S. Global Health Policy and Advocacy Study Tour
The U.S. Global Health Policy and Advocacy Study Tour offers students an opportunity to explore the U.S. global health policy landscape, understand key agencies and funding structures, and develop advocacy skills. The program also exposes students to diverse career paths in global health, connecting them with professionals and equipping them with practical knowledge for their future careers.
We planned the study tour to give students a first-hand look at what’s happening in Washington, DC right now. We wanted to provide an experience that went beyond the classroom.
