Global Health Concentration
Yale School of Public Health is pleased to announce our new Global Health Concentration. This will be available for students matriculating in the 2009–2010 academic year. M.P.H. students in our traditional two–year program may complete this concentration while they satisfy the requirements of their respective divisions or programs. Students in the one–year Advanced Professional M.P.H. Program may enroll in a Global Health Track.
The multidisciplinary approach of the Global Health Concentration encourages creativity and innovation, while fostering a global perspective. The concentration emphasizes an integrative problem–solving approach to global health issues and to diseases and conditions that afflict developing and developed countries. Students who complete this concentration will be well prepared for positions in a variety of organizations—public and private, national, bilateral and multilateral—dedicated to global health challenges.

All students in the Global Health Concentration will complete two required global health courses and two elective global health courses, chosen from a menu of eight courses. Students also will participate in a Global Health Seminar and complete a global health Internship during the summer between first and second years of the M.P.H. Students in divisions that require a thesis must write a global health–related thesis, and all students are exposed to leading global health experts who participate in teaching, seminars, and research with students.
Placement for internships and permanent positions after graduation include the World Health Organization (WHO), UN agencies (e.g., UNHCR, UNICEF), the World Bank, the Pan–American Health Organization (PAHO), Planned Parenthood, John Snow, Medecins Sans Frontiers, National Network on Tobacco Prevention and Poverty, National Opinion Research Center, Human Rights Watch, the Millennium Cities Initiative, Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative, USAID, Save the Children, and other community–based and research/academic institutions in various countries.
