In addition to clinical expertise, students develop the skills  to  implement innovative public health solutions, lead and manage equitable health systems, and improve the delivery of care in diverse global communities, while maintaining a commitment to humility and continuous improvement.   
Students’ learning about health care and delivery is homed in real-world scenarios by meeting and treating patients at home, in community health clinics, and in district and referral hospitals.  

UGHE’s MBBS/MGHD curriculum integrates themes including patient care, health sciences, social determinants of health, leadership, and management. The dynamic mix of theory and practice prepares graduates to diagnose and treat not just individuals and the causes of disease, but improve entire health systems.  

The program begins with ‘Foundations in Social Medicine’,  that helps students manage the transition into a university setting, facilitating essential academic skills for the rigors of medical school and six and a half years of study. Throughout the next four and a half years, students gain a solid foundation in the health sciences and clinical practice, as well as the knowledge and management skills needed to build and maintain effective and equitable health systems. The program culminates in a year-long intensive clinical internship and a hands-on practicum, after which scholars complete their Masters in Global Health Delivery
