Global Health Innovation
GLOBAL HEALTH INNOVATION PROGRAM
To be a leader in health care innovation, students must understand the unique challenges to health care in low resource settings around the world in addition to mature markets like the US. The global health course module in the David E. Swirnow MSE program trains students to identify, validate, and develop creative and inexpensive health care solutions for use in developing countries. Students will travel for several weeks in August to countries in the developing world to get a first-hand understanding of the challenges in these health care environments. Students have traveled to India, Nepal, Tanzania, and Ethiopia, in close partnership with Jhpiego, a Johns Hopkins affiliate and world leader in maternal, child, and family health care around the world.
