| Greetings! |
We are happy to announce Duke's newest global health education offering, the Master of Science in Global Health, beginning in Fall 2009. Duke is one of the first universities in the country to offer a master's degree that prepares health professionals, policy makers, researchers and others to approach global health from many perspectives. See the latest brochure for details.
As 2008 comes to a close, we want to thank the many students, DGHI members, affiliates, faculty, insititutional partners, staff and global health leaders who have made the past year such a tremendous success. We look forward to our continued partnership in 2009.
From all of us at the Duke Global Health Institute, best wishes for a safe and wonderful holiday season.
