Program Director: Dennis Alfred Clements, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H. The Global Health Study Program (GHSP) was approved in February 2008 to meet the growing demand from Duke medical students for a centralized resource for information, mentors, funding, and research opportunities related to Global Health (GH). In collaboration with the Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI), the GHSP facilitates connections for students with research opportunities at one of Duke¿s international GH field sites, as well as with other locations offering appropriate opportunities. Currently, DGHI is collaborating with institutions in China, Haiti, India, Kenya, Singapore, Tanzania, and Uganda, and is pursuing collaborative partnerships in Costa Rica, Ghana, Honduras, Indonesia, Nicaragua, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and others. The Institute focuses on six signature research initiatives with global reach. The program also connects students to Duke faculty with GH expertise, such as those whose research focuses on infectious diseases, epidemiology, clinical microbiology, translational medicine and social science. The GH Study Program, as with all Third Year Study Programs, requires a thesis that demonstrates quantitative expertise, regardless of the discipline chosen. Students will work with a project mentor, as well as a Duke Faculty member, to develop and conduct research that is of benefit both to the international site and to the educational goals of the student. DGHI and SOM are developing processes for consolidating and disseminating information about past students¿ Study Away experiences and funding opportunities for international fieldwork and research, and will be active in evaluating the qualifications of international mentors involved in supporting students undertaking the GH study program. For more information please contact the GH Third Year Study Program Coordinator. Limited funding will be available for Third Year students undertaking research projects related to global health. While preference will be given to students participating in the GH Study Program and working at DGHI field sites, all relevant proposals will be considered. Please contact the GH Third Year Study Program Coordinator to learn more. FACULTY: John Bartlett, M.D.; Dennis Clements, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H.; Gordon R. Corey, M.D.; John A. Crump, M.B.B.; Coleen K.
