The Wayne State University School of Medicine’s Global and Urban Health Equity Program is accepting applications for its next cohort. The deadline for applications to the program, open to medical students, residents, faculty and allied health professionals, is Aug. 2.

The goal of the free, two-year post-graduate program is to strengthen patient care with a dose of cultural humility. GLUE provides a greater awareness of cultural and socioeconomic factors, and emphasizes the importance of communication skills in medical practice. The program involves seminars, group learning, mentoring, and international and local projects, and is based on Consortium of Universities for Global Health core competencies.

GLUE was developed by the WSU Global Health Alliance to train leaders who set national and international standards of best practice in global and urban health education, service, research, policy and advocacy. Graduates will become pioneers who will lead transformational and innovative solutions to international and domestic problems.
