Global Health Coalition

 

Who We Are

Welcome to the GHC! Our mission is to promote EVMS in education, experience, and community outreach related to global health. We aim to help members develop the skills, knowledge, experience, and ethical foundation necessary to effectively and justly participate in the health care of our global community. 

 

What We Do

The GHC supports EVMS student interest in global health by organizing educational opportunities, career information, community outreach, and advocacy. We work with students, faculty, the M. Foscue Brock Institute for Community and Global Health, and local and global community partners. 

 

 

Our Values

Practicing medicine in diverse socio-cultural and geopolitical circumstances requires emphasized consideration for values and ethics that help maintain our existing core ethical principles in a global setting. Our values are the compass with which we navigate the world!

 

Here's the World Medical Association's Declaration of Geneva, outlining foundational principles held by physicians across the world: Declaration of Geneva 

 

As GHC members, we aim to embody respect, humility, compassion, sensitivity, scholarship, diversity, and cultural competency.
