About Global Health Scholars

The Global Health Scholars (GHS) program at Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine is dedicated to the study of healthcare across cultures and borders. The program now offers two complementary tracks: the Scholar’s Interest Group, a pre-clerkship co-curricular group that introduces students to global health topics and community partnerships, and the Pathway of Distinction, a comprehensive four-year curriculum that provides advanced training, mentorship, and research opportunities. Together, these tracks allow students to explore global health at varying levels of depth and commitment while building the skills to become community-responsive physician leaders.
