About Projects with Drs. Raker and Saha
Project Title: The Global Health Experience Survey (GHES)
Project Description: The Global Health Experience Survey (GHES) assesses preparedness for global health experiences in which trainees participate. Specifically, the assessment is composed of a pre-trip and post-trip survey that measures how effectively trainees prepared for the cultural differences, socioeconomic disparities, language barriers, and political environments experienced during global health undertakings. The GHES aims to serve as a tool for academic units engaged in global health activities to iteratively adjust their curricula according to the needs of trainees who embark on experiences outside of their countries of origin.
Student Participation: Remote
Number of Students: 1-2
