We support Canadian health professional trainees who choose to think globally about their health care work.
Every year, the Institute for Global Health provides funding to several trainees (e.g., midwifery, occupational and physical therapy, medical residents) who pursue global health electives focused on children (neonates to adolescents) as part of their approved training program. Trainees can be students in any health care discipline: doctors, nurses, midwives, occupational therapists, and more.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, global health electives in 2020 and 2021 were largely cancelled. We are continuing to work with our trainees to support their global health training during these unusual times.
