Our Programs

We offer programs for faculty and learners

Global REACH supports and facilitates global health activities among the faculty, trainees, and students at the University of Michigan Medical. "REACH" is short for Research, Education, and Collaboration, and majority of our programs and activities roll up into one or more of these categories.

Our global health education and training programs support UMMS students seeking international experiences as part of their learning at UMMS as well our Global Health Research Certificate Program for faculty, residents, and fellows alike seeking a pathway to incorporate global health projects into their regular research portfolios.
