This summer, the Dahdaleh Institute has worked with wonderful students through our dynamic, experiential education Global Health Internship Program. The program offers students the ability to contribute to exciting research projects by working on literature reviews, data synthesis, cataloguing, content development, stakeholder engagement, and much more. They supported research projects studying equitable global health research; impacts of gender in tobacco control; mental and emotional health and wellness; knowledge translation and acceleration; and AMR and food systems.
Congratulations, and thanks to all the interns for a job well done!
