Online Course – Certified Professional Internship in Global Health and Governance Challenges by Google, Imperial College London

Specializations – 3-part course series

This specialization is designed to introduce and integrate the key concepts of global health, globalization, and governance into an understanding of key challenges and threats to global health. The goal is to provide learners with opportunities to understand the complex international context of global health, the role of key stakeholders, and the need for good governance in global health.

Learners will be exposed to some of the most important challenges in global health and their implications for global health practices. They will discuss the forces driving these challenges, including global change and globalization, and address issues of injustice related to the impact of these challenges.
