Global Health Programs
Mission
The purpose of the Global Health Pillar is to expose students to the healthcare in our community and abroad. Global Health emphasizes healthcare equity for people worldwide through advocacy, research, service, and more.
Student Committee
The Baylor Global Health Committee is a team of undergraduates led by the Global Health representative of the Pre-Health TA council. This group serves to cultivate passion for global health among students and organize opportunities for Baylor students to explore related opportunities on campus and beyond. The Global Health Committee collaborates with on-campus organizations as well as the Pre-Health office to promote important events in Global Health, including Global Health Week and World Health Day.
