In 2005, the Office of Global Health Education (OGHE) was created at The Ohio State University College of Medicine in response to medical student interest in global health. The OGHE serves as a one-stop resource for students’ global health needs, creates affiliations with institutions around the world that offer unique learning opportunities, provides funding for medical student Global Health Elective program and supports student global health organizations.

Global Health Electives are available to fourth-year OSU medical students and individually tailored for each student. Students complete an application for a stipend (up to $2,500) and to receive elective credit. Upon rotation completion, each student submits a detailed report of their experience.

The focus of the OGHE is on global health issues in developing countries. Over the past four years, 200 students have gone to developing countries for Global Health Electives.

The OGHE is part of the Ohio State University Health Sciences Center for Global Health.
