The New Structure of globalhealthU: This year chapters will have variety built into the globalhealthU curriculum. The network will follow a yearlong arc of five set tracks exploring topics on health and human rights. Within each track, ghU coordinators will pick from a large variety of topics. Additionally, each topic has many different resources (videos, readings, activities) for chapters to choose from. Each chapter’s globalhealthU curriculum will be specific to their chapter’s needs.
Variety in Weeks: ghU coordinators select which weeks/topics they want to learn more about. Within each track, chapters put the topics they have chosen in order, depending on the school’s calendar.
