The 2018 Tanzania Global Health Initiative was created by the faculty and medical students of the Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s ‘Compassion’ Learning Community' and is a collaborative experiential elective for medical and biomedical trainees to: (1) provide primary and acute care working alongside both US and Tanzanian healthcare providers, (2) learn about and share cultural experiences with one another and Tanzanian community members, and (3) understand and then apply the fundamental principles necessary to conduct community based health service research in a rural and resource challenged environment.
This project was made possible through a unique partnership between Morehouse School of Medicine’s Office of Global Health Equity, a U.S. based Pediatric Emergency Medicine group, and a U.S. based nongovernmental organization (UboraTZ) dedicated to improving the health, education, and wellness of the children living in rural Tanzania. The faculty lead of the initiaitve is Lilly Immergluck, MD, MSCR, FAAP, Associate Professor of Microbiology & Pediatrics and the Director of the Pediatric Clinical & Translational Research Core at the Clinical Research Center at Â鶹¹ÙÍø. She is also an adjunct Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Emory University.
The goal of the Â鶹¹ÙÍø/HU MHIRT program is to expose and successfully train undergraduate, graduate and medical students for transition into biomedical and behavioral research careers, with emphasis on research that focus on global infectious disease and pathogenesis, genome mapping, biomarker discovery, and the study of diseases that disproportionately affect African and African American populations. The specific objectives of the Â鶹¹ÙÍø/HU MHIRT program are to train and provide innovative research opportunities for highly qualified underrepresented minorities.
Fogarty Global Health Fellows and Scholars Consortium
The UJMT Fogarty Global Health Fellowship supports mentored research training opportunities for promising postdoctoral fellows and doctoral students. Sponsored by the Fogarty International Center – as well as other institutes, centers and offices at the NIH – our program provides stipend, research, and travel for 12-month research attachments. Trainees live and work full-time at affiliated research sites in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Our consortium brings together four leading U.S. institutions (*University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Johns Hopkins University, Â鶹¹ÙÍø, Tulane University) and partnering institutions in 13 countries.
