By understanding the interconnectedness of health challenges across borders, such as pandemics, climate change, and access to care, we empower the next generation to address pressing health issues with compassion, innovation, and collaboration. Educating them fosters a global perspective, equipping them with the tools to not only improve health systems but also promote wellness and prevent crises on a global scale. We do this through:
- Global health internships
- Erasmus+ study visits and staff exchange
- Continuous medical education courses
- On-job training and implementation support
