NYITCOM's Global Health Organization (GHO) is a student group that aims to raise awareness about and help students get involved in health issues across the globe. The group helps interested students stay up to date on current affairs in global health and sponsors faculty and guest speaker lectures on tropical medicine, infectious disease, and emerging health issues and threats. Additionally, the club organizes donation drives for underserved communities, hosts events to discuss cultural considerations in medicine, and serves as a forum in which students can learn about working and studying abroad in the global health field as a medical student and/or professional.
A group of students interested in Global Health, and committed to developing healthcare professionals who are empathetic leaders and change agents, ready to tackle the global burden of disease and health disparities at home and abroad.
Through a combination of innovative educational curriculum, independent research projects, and field-based service-learning initiatives, we provide opportunities for students and faculty members to engage in global health research, policy, and practice.
Food pantry meets weekly and we are always looking for volunteers! Email gho@nyit.edu for more information.
