Student Testimonials

I am, of, course very grateful to have been able to have such a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I really have gained a lot from this class and I am excited to use the knowledge and experience I now have moving forward in my global health career.

Second-year Bachelor of Medicine student and part of the 2018 inaugural cohort for the Global Health in Context: Sri Lanka elective course

I learned so much through this course; we were approached as colleagues not as students so I felt free to be more creative when it came to offering my own input and asking questions. The course provided a really good environment to learn in and our lecturers appreciated our prior learnings.

One of the great – and unique – things about working with AIGHD is that many projects are a collaboration between economists and medical doctors, which allows for both types of data to be collected and two types of expertise to be incorporated into the research.

My research internship at AIGHD and Stichting HIV Monitoring was a great experience not only because I graduated from my Master’s program by completing this study, but especially because I learned a lot about the academic world during the process of publishing this study for AIDS Care.

I see things in the bigger picture now and I noticed when I was writing my thesis, I was thinking in global health terms.
