Abstract

This is a report of our experience over the past year in developing our program in global health at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health. Key steps have included an analysis of our needs and strengths, recruitment of interested faculty from existing departments, strategic meetings of faculty, formation of a vision for a Center for Global Health, design of an introductory cross-disciplinary course taught by faculty from departments in Public Health and other programs at the University of Pittsburgh, and recruitment of a recognized leader in global health to direct the program. Although we have had some successes, the process is still at an early stage. Because of this, our case may be instructive to other schools beginning similar programs.
