Here at UCSF Fresno Medical Center, we are fortunate to have faculty, resident and staff who have done groundbreaking projects all over the world. They bring their life experience and clinical expertise to serve our truly diverse patient population, and the Global Health Curriculum provides a unique, multi-disciplinary forum for these practitioners to teach others about their international health care experiences.
Founded in 2008, the Global Health educational curriculum incorporates didactics on a range of topics of importance in global health, and presentations by residents who have done an overseas clinical elective. Meetings and events are typically held in conjunction with the department overseeing the project, or sometimes as a campus-wide Grand Rounds seminar. All disciplines of health care professionals are welcome to attend all of our lectures and events.
The UCSF Fresno Global Health Curriculum represents a group of dedicated providers associated with the UCSF Fresno Medical Education Program. Our events highlight local connections to international medical projects and overseas clinical opportunities. Attendance is open to healthcare staff and clinical providers from all departments and disciplines, including physicians, nurses, therapists, and staff.
To help you stay in touch between our monthly gatherings, we have created a Facebook page where you can share your projects, announcements, questions, and advice with the rest of the community! Join us and join the conversation! https://www.facebook.com/groups/368994383236895/
