Global Health Interest Group

The Global Health Interest Group (GHIG) serves to educate medical students about global health and human rights issues. The organization aims to facilitate medical student exposure to global health through several avenues, including lunch talks, informational sessions on global health opportunities at DGSOM, expert panels and co-hosting the annual Los Angeles Global Health Conference (LAGHC). In 2021, the Global Health Interest Group will seek to further engage students from multiple UCLA programs by hosting a cross-disciplinary global health case competition, which may be expanded into an annual event.
