Mission

GlobeMedaimstostrengthenthemovementforglobalhealthequitybyempoweringstudentsandcommuni:estoworktogethertoimprovethehealthoftheimpoverished

aroundtheworld.

3Most current student global health initiatives are based on service or medical supplies delivery trips, where volunteers travel to a site for a short period of time and do not develop lasting relationships with the community. GlobeMed seeks to break this cycle of short-term impact by building meaningful, enduring partnerships between university students and grassroots health organizations working in impoverished communities. We believe firmly in the power of students and local community members working together to reduce the disparities in access to quality healthcare around the world.

GlobeMed’snetworkof46chaptersisdiverseandgrowing

4GlobeMed is an expanding network of universities (33 existing + 13 new = 46!). Each chapter partners with and raises funds for a grassroots health organization, organizes educational programs on campus, and leads internships to work with their partners abroad.

The support and shared experience of the network is a great resource and motivating force for all chapters. With our network-wide globahealthU curriculum, a staff member in Los Angeles is learning the same thing as someone in New York or Washington D.C. At the Global Health Summit in the spring, ideas, stories best practices are shared and new friendships are formed each year. As we continue to grow, the movement towards improving global health will continue to connect future global health leaders in this rapidly expanding network.

5Chapters are at the heart of GlobeMed's model and are strongly guided by the National Office. The National Headquarters are located in Evanston, IL.

The National Office provides advising and assistance to help chapters succeed. GlobeMed's National Office trains student-leaders, organizes network-wide programs and events, and provides financial and legal services for chapters. They manages the day-to-day execution of GlobeMed's program model and are made of full-time staff, recent graduates, and current university students.

The network-wide events that the National Office puts together include the annual GlobeMed Global Health Summit which brings together students from universities across the country for three days of lectures, workshops, and discussions with leading professionals in the field of global health. The annual Fall Leadership Institute prepares chapter leaders with the skills and training to successfully lead their chapter for the upcoming school year.

7GlobeMed partnerships are rooted in the belief that local aspirations are a centripetal force behind community change. Many health clinics or other organizations working to improve health in vulnerable communities have many great resources - community members who passionately care about health, local knowledge of customs and culture, and strong social networks. However, working in conditions of extreme poverty, these leaders face sharp and seemingly intractable challenges.

11At the Leadership Institute last fall, chapters leaders came together and decided to an overall goal network-wide fundraising goal of $100,000. This was very ambitious because, the previous year, they had raised about $42,000. And that fall, there were only an additional two new chapters. As you saw in the video, the network as whole raised just overall $100,000. This yearʼs network-wide goal with the 14 new chapters is $175,000. To raise this money, chapters hosted a variety of fundraising events as a part of their year-long campaign for the project in their partner community. These include large staple events, small business fundraisers, and individual giving campaigns (ex: holiday letter-writing).

For the globalhealthU curriculum, the National Office has revamped it this year. Every month, they will be sending out a newsletter to the entire network--with different themes every month, ranging from infectious diseases to LGBTQ and global health. The newsletter will contain an abstract, material, and discussion for that monthʼs topic, dynamic network content (highlighting a network event or chapter), and headlines/news articles in global health. These newsletters will be used to engage in reading and dialogue during meeting and public events to better understand partnership and projects.

Lastly, GROW Internship team will have an incredible opportunity to work on tangible projects alongside the partner, gaining powerful stories and personal narratives that will inspire support from your chapter and community. For example, GWU who is partnered with Rwanda Village Concept Project, during the summer of 2009, the GROW interns did a needs assessment of the clinic by interviewing patients--during which they realized maternal healthcare was insufficient. Women did not know not to drink alcohol during their pregnancy, had poor diets and would not get all their dietary vitamins, and perinatal visits to the clinic were rare. The GROW internship allowed student at GM at GWU at shape their project for the upcoming 2009-10 year, during which they fundraised for the creation and implementation of a maternal health education program which consisted of 12 sessions focusing on various maternal health factors.

13This a break down of a GlobeMed chapter. It consists of two co-presidents that work closely together with the E-board to run the successful chapter. External=communicating with National Office and partner organization; Internal=internal affairs of the chapter. Various E-board positions have sort of teams they work with (that consist of general members) to carry out their responsibilities.

15We havenʼt decided on an attendance policy yet. But some chapters operate with the 80% Rule: All active members must participate in 80% of all GlobeMed events (this includes meetings, educational events, fundraising events, etc.). As a member of GlobeMed, you will be expected to be highly involved.

For GlobeMedʼs model, having a large group of members is not as important as getting committed people. Goals are also much easier to reach with 20 devoted members than 50 unmotivated ones.

16Iʼm going to stress again that GlobeMed is for students from all disciplines. Many people think that because of the name GlobeMed, the organization is just for pre-med students-- when in reality we need students from all disciplines to address the inequity seen around the world. Essentially any student who has an interest in global health, global change, and social justice can make valuable contributions to GlobeMed.
