Global Health Initiatives
Morehouse School of Medicine’s Office of Global Health Equity (OGHE) is a multidisciplinary,
cross-cutting office that
integrates Morehouse School of Medicine’s (MSM) diverse expertise, departments, institutes,
and centers towards the reduction of health disparity and the ultimate advancement
of global health equity. We work to drive innovative global health research, workforce
capacity development, population health initiatives, and build sustainable partnerships
globally and locally (‘glocally’).
