Office of Community Engagement

Global health matters to everyone, not just those in developing countries or marginalized communities. By working together, we can find solutions to address health issues that go beyond geographic borders and help decrease health inequities around the world, regardless of race, culture, gender or social class. Global health education, research and clinical outreach are all major priorities of Dalhousie’s Global Health Office (GHO). Our work supports Dalhousie Medical School and the faculties of Health Professions and Dentistry with an inclusive structure that incorporates the broader Dalhousie community. The interprofessional and interdisciplinary approach we take is pivotal to our mission to build leadership within the Dalhousie community to advance global health. And our advisory committees work with us to enhance strategic partnerships in our local communities and across the globe.

Two Dalhousie medical students, Kate Palmer from New Brunswick and Bella Willett from Nova Scotia, spent a month in Graz, Austria taking part in a pediatric medicine course that combined lectures with clinical rotations alongside international peers. The exchange through the partnership with Medical University of Graz gave them firsthand exposure to a different healthcare system, enriching their clinical training and broadening their global perspective.
