Overview
Welcome to the School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) Office of Global Health (OGH).
The OGH opened in 2017 and builds on the long history of global health programs at SMPH and the previous UW-Madison Center for Global Health at SMPH which was created in 2005. The OGH is directed by Dr. James H. Conway, and is administered through the SMPH Department of Academic Affairs, under the leadership of Senior Associate Dean, Dr. Elizabeth Petty. The primary function of the OGH is coordination of a variety of educational activities for health professional, graduate, and capstone students. It also serves as a hub to enhance collaboration and communication among related global health programs in the SMPH, such as departmental-level global health activities and postgraduate global health training of MD clinical residents and fellows. The OGH also serves as an important link for the SMPH to the UW-Madison Global Health Institute and its array of global health programming and opportunities.
