Pathways Explore
• No commitment to a pathway required
• In choosing an opportunity, think about
• Skills you’d like to acquire
• Your interests and career goals
• How you’d like to contribute to health and medicine
The Explore Option in the Global Health Pathway
• For UCSF medical students without an official GH Pathway commitment
• Supports students investigating GH through short-term clinical or research work (1 to 3 months)
• Usually choose research in summer after first year• Additional opportunities (especially clinical) during the
elective periods of 4th yearAll such students who seek funding, credit, or plan
research should see a GH advisor
Going Abroad
• Start early• Funding deadline April 15 for summer (RAPtr)• No need for credit in summer after year 1• Student-designed research takes extra prep time (IRB)• Email me for a meeting: [email protected] • Lots of information online (GH Pathway with links to
opportunities, funding, safe travel & requirements)
