Student-led Organization for Global Health

A global health organization run by Stanford medical students.

*Note: The Stanford Center for Innovation in Global Health is not involved in the management or direction of this student-led group. 

Overview

Stanford University School of Medicine students created the Student-led Organization for Global Health to increase awareness of international health issues by educating at home and assisting abroad.

Student members facilitate participation in issues surrounding international health through travel fellowships and NGO networking. They also stimulate passion and interest in global health through tangible community-initiated, community-centered projects abroad.

Whether helping devise new preventive strategies, gaining hands-on clinical experience or conducting field research, members of this organization are advocates for improved health care worldwide.
