Graduate Level Curriculum
UCSF Residents and graduate level healthcare professionals who wish to formally incorporate global health into their professional careers can enroll in one of two global health pathway programs.
Global Health Clinical Scholars Program (GHCSP)
The GHCSP program will continue to be the focus of pathways activity for the resident/graduate level trainees of all the schools. The core activities include:
- 3-week full-time didactic course in September
- Monthly evening sessions (for 1 year)
- Creating a web module
- Mentored project
Masters degree in Global Health
Trainees who want to get a degree after completing the core pathway requirements can apply for the Masters degree in Global Health.
The Masters degree in Global Health is a full time 1-year program that includes three quarters of course work and one quarter of field work working with underserved populations in local or international settings. The degree will specifically focus on scholarly, publishable research, or project implementation or evaluation as a means of fostering entry into global health careers.
Funding for projects
A variety of fellowship/funded opportunities are available for trainees at the Central Pathways Funding Agency.
