Specific information for each summer non-degree programs:
Global Health Delivery Intensive
The Global Health Delivery Intensive (GHDI) program attracts a diverse, international cadre of mid-career global health professionals who seek training in global health delivery concepts and skills. Students take a curriculum of epidemiology, management science and global health delivery case studies, enabling them to effectively design and manage programs that improve health care delivery and outcomes in low-resource settings.
You must enroll in 6.25 credits during Summer 1 Session. You cannot enroll in any courses during Summer 2. Auditing is not permitted during the summer. Admitted students will receive login information prior to enrollment.
Global Infectious Diseases
The Program in Global Infectious Diseases is designed for students, public health officers, clinicians, and scientists who are seeking advanced training in infectious diseases that disproportionally affect individuals in resource-limited areas. The program specifically focuses on vector-borne and zoonotic infections, and infections transmitted by water and food. The Program is comprised of 7.5 credits, 5.0 of which must include IID 232 and IID 233, with the remainder drawn from select courses in Epidemiology and Biostatistics also offered during the summer session.
Full-time status is 5 or more credits in one session (either July or August) or 7.5 or more credits for both July and August. Part-time status is 2.5 credits in one session (either July or August), or 5 credits over the 2 month-long session. Auditing is not permitted during the summer. Since classes progress rapidly, students are encouraged to settle their schedules quickly. Students will receive login information prior to enrollment.
Program in Clinical Effectiveness
The Program in Clinical Effectiveness (PCE) is designed for physician-clinicians, fellows and faculty who are seeking quantitative and analytic skills needed for clinical research or are interested in health care administration. The PCE is an intensive seven-week, 15-credit summer program, which contains summer-long courses in Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, as well as two half-summer elective courses. This program also serves as the foundation for the MPH degree in Clinical Effectiveness and the Summer only SM in Epidemiology.
You must enroll in 15 credits over the summer session. No more than 7.5 credits may be taken in each session. Auditing is not permitted during the summer. Since classes progress rapidly, students are encouraged to settle their course schedules quickly. Admitted students will receive login information prior to enrollment.
