About the Global Health Program

The practice of global health embodies the principles of population health, taking responsibility for the health of whole communities and working to prevent disease by addressing the social injustices at the root of health inequities. Our multidisciplinary Global Health Program leverages tri-fold channels of education, research and service to cultivate 21st century leaders, improve overall health outcomes, and promote healthcare services for vulnerable populations in Central Texas and globally. Learn more about the Global Health Program at Dell Medical School's Division of Global Health.

Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH)

The Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH) is a partnership model for global health, leveraging the power of academic medical centers to respond to the health needs of local and regional populations. As a member of the AMPATH Consortium, UT’s Global Health program participates in AMPATH Kenya with Moi University in Eldoret, and co-leads the partnership with Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP) for AMPATH/MAPAS Mexico.
