IamGHOPe: Global Health Opportunities Promoting Engagement
59% of minority responders noted lack of support to travel, access to jobs, financial support in academic programs, and lack of mentorship as the greatest barriers to succeed in GH.
The following barriers begin at the institutional level and follow minority students throughout their early career:
• Lack of funding for overseas opportunities to explore and participate • Lack of international exposure • Lack of mentorship for minorities within PWI’s
CONCLUSION
70 GHPH responses18 MSI responses
62 student/professionalresponses • Offer comprehensive funding for students to engage in overseas
opportunities • Diversify the ways global health programs and departments seek
funding for research by increasing interdepartmental collaboration
• Reconfigure institutional budgets to integrate visiting faculty and post-doctoral fellowships to support research and international projects.
• Incentives for faculty to establish programs abroad and develop partnerships
• Develop mentorship opportunities for minority students to gain GH exposure and opportunity
