Global Affiliation Agreements
There are several faculty with established affiliation agreements for their global health partnerships. These local/global partners have a long-term relationship with MCW faculty and include two or more departments in their global health efforts.
Beyond faculty's individual global engagement, department-wide efforts are also addressing health inequities within their specific specialty. For example, explore more details about the Department of Surgery’s global engagement efforts in community engagement, education, patient care, and research.
MCW faculty are also collaborating with non-profit organizations, like BioVentures for Global Health, based in Seattle who works at the crossroads of the private and public sectors to advance research and improve health. It connects MCW faculty to people, resources, and ideas across biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, governments, and nonprofits to solve global health issues.
