About Global Health - Mgh in Ohio University
The Master of Global Health (MGH) prepares post-baccalaureate students to address health issues that transcend national and international borders and to engage in the global community as clinicians, researchers, managers, developers, and as policy consultants. Students develop a deep-understanding of the complexities impacting health care delivery and the necessity of working on interprofessional teams to develop community-based solutions in underserved and resource-poor communities. Students are encouraged to combine their global health studies with other disciplines to create their own concurrent focus in fields such as medicine, nursing, social work, business, international development, international communications, regional specializations (e.g. Africa, Latin America, Asia/SE Asia), and environmental studies. Students participate in ongoing interprofessional global health projects and research that address complex multi-faceted issues in resource-poor regions. This program helps students to prepare for careers that increasingly demand critical thinking, an interprofessional mindset, and international vision. At the end of the program, all students are expected to have an in depth understanding of determinants of health and illness and diverse methods of approaching health problems in settings with varied cultural, socio-economic, and political characteristics.
