The Institute for Global Health Sciences (IGHS) Trainee Network was created in 2026 to build community and support UCSF students who are interested in or engaged in global health equity work.
The program connects trainees across UCSF Schools and Programs, helping them stay informed about IGHS activities, opportunities, and events, while fostering collaboration among students committed to advancing global health equity.
The IGHS Trainee Network is open to UCSF trainees at all stages, including students, residents, fellows, postdoctoral scholars, and other trainees with an interest in global health equity.
