How to deliver healthcare to the poorest? MIT could help address obstacles in supply chains, management and workforce systems, and program design, planning, and implementation.
Take this IAP mini course to learn about the pressing challenges in delivering global health; discuss ways in which you and others at MIT could help address them; and shape real projects based on specific opportunities mapped out by the Global Health Delivery Initiative, a collaboration of Partners in Health and others. Before our first session, prepare via self-study (pick up/download readings and an assignment). The three interactive sessions feature discussions, mini-lectures, in-class exercises, and lunch, plus time to plan next steps with others. The resulting projects could become a part of an MIT class or a research project.
