The Institute for Global Health and Infectious Diseases at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is one of the largest global health programs in the United States. Working in more than 50 countries around the globe, we have made breakthrough discoveries — including the prevention of HIV transmission — while saving lives and offering critical training to thousands of health professionals in the U.S. and in resource-limited communities around the world.
The Office of Global Health Education (OGHE) develops programmatic structure, support, and engagement in global medical education for UNC medical students and resident physicians interested in global health. We are affiliated with the Institute for Global Health and Infectious Diseases.
