Global health encompasses many things. It’s local, national, international, and planetary. It’s interdisciplinary and involves the conditions that make good health possible, including social, economic, and environmental factors. It’s about improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide.

If you are thinking about a career in global health—or, more broadly, how you can incorporate global health into your professional pursuits—there are many opportunities to consider.

The "Careers in Global Health" webpage, created by Rutgers Global Health Institute, is designed to help you understand that the pathways to a global health career are diverse. You can incorporate global health in ways that are directly related to your academic program, and you can explore different ways of using your knowledge and skills to improve health locally and around the world. We hope that this collection of resources and inspiration will help you navigate your professional pursuits with a global health mindset.
