Global Health And Development

Global Health and Development serves to work across Dartmouth to bring health equity and well-being to the world's population through multi-disciplinary research, educaton, and service.  GHD works with Dartmouth's five schools -- the College of Arts and Sciences, Geisel School of Medicine, Tuck School of Business, Thayer School of Engineering, Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies -- and Dartmouth Health, our affiliated academic hospital.  We also partner with individuals and organizations around the world to pursue solutions to critical challenges in global public health while training the next generation of global health leaders.  GHD collaborates with other mission-aligned centers across campus, including Geisel's Center for Health Equity, Tuck's Center for Health Care, the Dartmouth Center for Social Impact, and the Dartmouth Center for the Advance of Learning, among others.
