The biggest obstacle to international travel and meaningful global health experiences is often cost.
That’s why the Center for Global Health and Social Responsibility has created the Global Health Ethics in Practice Awards.
The awards, which are made possible by the generosity of donors, offer up to $2,000 to University of Minnesota graduate students, residents and fellows to put towards global health internships, applied experiences, research fieldwork or ethical hands-on practice abroad.
Zaynab Ahmed, a School of Public Health student, used a Global Health Ethics in Practice Award to support neonatal intensive care units in Borama, Somaliland.
Ahmed is a Maternal and Child Health MPH student who used the experience for SPH’s Applied Practice requirement, bridging her UMN learning in the classroom to building skills in a real-world setting. She will also incorporate her learnings in her future Integrated Learning Experience and master’s thesis.
