Funding for DGHI sponsored fieldwork.
Experiential learning is a cornerstone of global health education at Duke. Field-based projects are part of the requirements of many of our educational programs, and while the length and depth of the projects vary, they provide students with unparalleled opportunities to understand the many contexts of health in low-resource settings.
In a typical year, Duke students are involved in field-based projects in more than 20 countries, where they work closely with community partners to understand and address health challenges. These transformative experiences teach students how to conduct ethically grounded, collaborative research while fostering critical thinking, self-awareness and cultural humility.
Students can choose from several Duke and DGHI field programs that are designed to help you address a global health question, context or challenge.
