Why Study Global Health at New York Tech?
The Global Health Certificate from New York Institute of Technology’s College of Osteopathic Medicine gives practitioners an understanding of the social, cultural, economic, climate, and political challenges and strategies related to health in under-resourced areas. This more nuanced perspective prepares professionals to serve as informed leaders and agents of change, empowering not only their patients but also their communities.
The dynamic curriculum combines coursework, fieldwork, and research. Through both practice and analysis of on-the-ground experience, you’ll grow your knowledge of population health and policy development—including how these factors impact patients and the medical field on a broader scale. Working on individual and team-based projects, you’ll acquire key competencies as a practitioner and learn to formulate viable solutions to existing and emerging healthcare challenges. Throughout the program, you’ll participate in research through the Center for Global Health, closely collaborating with faculty who are at the top of their field in areas ranging from osteopathic medicine, pediatrics, emergency medicine, non-communicable and infectious diseases, and population health.
