Amazing Learning Opportunity!
May 21, 2025by: Martina Schatz - ItalyProgram: Virtual Global Health PracticumParticipating in CFHI’s Pillars of Global Health Course was a truly enriching and eye-opening experience. Despite being virtual, the course was thoughtfully designed to foster deep engagement with global health themes, including health equity, social determinants of health, and culturally responsive care. The structure of the program allowed for a dynamic mix of recorded videos, interactive quizzes and research papers, all led by experienced global health professionals and community-based experts. The program promoted critical thinking, self-reflection, and cultural humility — all essential competencies for anyone pursuing a career in global or public health. The flexibility of the online format made it accessible and manageable alongside academic or clinical commitments, without sacrificing depth or quality. I would highly recommend this program to any student or health professional looking to grow their global health knowledge in an ethical, accessible, and academically rigorous way.
Highly recommended Global Health virtual program
December 30, 2021by: Brian - United StatesProgram: Virtual Global Health PracticumI appreciated the adaptations that were made with CFHI to engage students in global health work during the pandemic. It emphasized aspects of global health that would have likely been overlooked during an in person experience, and really highlighted some of the important foundational work that needs to be done to strengthen communities in the long run.
A valuable experience
November 18, 2021by: Manuel - United StatesProgram: Virtual Global Health PracticumI think this Virtual program was amazing. Even though we were not there in person I still feel as though I learned so much and gained so much valuable experience. It was an opportunity I would do again in a heartbeat. The Director Seminars and Roundtable meetings were an amazing learning experience.
