Courses
  Many global health courses are sponsored by the Center for Global Health.  These include semester courses, field courses led by UW faculty, and independent field work.  The Center for Global Health staff are available to assist UW graduate, health professionals, and certificate students to identify advisors, sites and field-based supervisors.  Please note that all students who plan to pursue global health study abroad for credit must complete the following forms listed in the packets under each field course.  The Center does not support study abroad that is not for credit.  

Please note that there are pre-requisites for the Thailand and Uganda field courses that must be taken Spring semester. The 2 credit pre-requisite for the Thailand field course is "Health and Disease in Thailand-Pathogens, Animals, People, and Healing Plants in the Tropics" (PHS 650, section 40). The 2 credit pre-requisite for the Uganda field course is "Health and Disease in Uganda" (PHS 650, section 42).  Registration begins November 9 for the pre-requisite semester courses.
