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 Team
The Baylor Global Health Committee is a team of undergraduates led by the Global Health Representative of the Prehealth TA Council. This group aims to foster a passion for global health within the Baylor community and provides students with opportunities to explore global health research, advocacy, and more, both on campus and beyond. The Global Health Committee collaborates with on-campus organizations and the Office of Prehealth Studies to promote significant global health events, including the Annual Global Health Week. Additionally, the committee oversees the Global Health Fellows, a cohort of students engaged in research within the global health field.
