Caring, advocating and educating for regional communities facing health inequities

摘要

What does “global health” mean? We believe it refers to health conditions that transcend national borders and are manifested in health disparities around the world. Since the inception of what is now the University of Minnesota (UMN) Global Medicine Pathway and Program (GMPP), the mission of our faculty has been to improve the health of individuals and communities globally. For many of our faculty, this includes important work done locally and regionally with populations facing health inequities.
