Global Initiatives at UTMB

Global Initiatives at UTMB The world is more interconnected than at any time in history. Global trade and commerce, immigration, and travel have all dramatically increased.

With globalization, diseases once thought to be obscure are now part of medicine in the US, and health problems in resource poor countries can impact life here. In this context, a new field of global health is emerging which has captured the imagination of trainees throughout the country. UTMB provides key leadership to the University of Texas System in international training opportunities for stu

dents. UTMB has unique resources in this area including 3 World Health Organization Collaborating Centers, strong student organizations in the field, and a strong research base in global infectious diseases. Building on activities such as the Global Health Track for medical students, Global Health Lecture Series, Global Health Scholars Program, breadth of infectious disease research, and dozens of international rotations in which students participate each year, the program now seeks to expand training opportunities for all UTMB students and strengthen coordination of activities on campus.
