Global Health Program
Who We Are
The Pediatrics Global Health Program consists of categorical pediatrics and medicine-pediatrics residents in all years of training united by the common goal of improving the health of children in developing nations through medical education, international clinical service, and research. Initiated by an energetic group of residents, the group works closely with faculty advisors from Pediatrics, Medicine-Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine, and the MGH Center for Global Health to enrich resident training in international health. All pediatric and medicine-pediatrics residents are invited to participate in this longitudinal program of Global Health education which includes a series of lectures and international experiences.
