About Program
Healthcare practices differ widely around the globe, but health inequities—between economic divides, urban and rural—are increasing everywhere. Across four continents, compare healthcare systems and strategies, community well-being, and multiple factors affecting human health in different contexts, on both local and global scales. Travel to Washington, DC, India, South Africa, and Argentina, journeying from mega-cities to rural villages, to take a holistic, interdisciplinary look at how communities around the world define what it is to achieve and maintain health.
