Throughout the program, students are supported with exceptional resources, an integrated online course of study, on-campus workshops and experiences, and mentorship by world-renowned faculty and thought leaders in pediatric global health and education. Students can also leverage partnerships St. Jude has formed with collaborators around the globe.
