MISSION // OVERVIEW! GlobeMed is a network of university students who partner with grassroots organizations around the world to improve the health of people living in poverty. Through their involvement today, students commit to a life of leadership in global health and social justice.

The GlobeMed Network currently includes 49 chapters at university campuses across the United States. The Network is coordinated and supported by our National Office in Evanston, IL. The grassroots health organizations supported by our chapters span the world from America to Cambodia.

MODEL

GlobeMed’s student-led chapters partner with grassroots health organizations, primarily in developing countries. Chapters do three primary things:

1. Fundraise for public health projects that partner organizations implement

2. Learn and educate through GlobeMed’s year-long global health and leadership curriculum, globalhealthU.

3. Intern on-site with partner organizations

This approach empowers students and communities to work together to improve the lives of people living in poverty.

IMPACT

GlobeMed’s model has shown tangible results:

- In the past four years, GlobeMed has grown from 350 students to over 1500 students and from 17 to 50 chapters.

- GlobeMed chapters have posit ively impacted 46 organizations by supporting public health projects and are sending 125 students abroad to intern with their partner organizations this year.

- Since 2006, our network of chapters has raised over $750,000 for health projects in their partner communities.

- We have expanded our team at the National Office, currently composed of 5 full-time staff and 16 volunteers who each devote up to 10 hours a week.

PARTNERS

Currently there are 49 GlobeMed partners in 19 countries around the world, impacting health through prevention programs, treatment, and education.

Frequently asked questionsHow often should I communicate with my GlobeMed Chapter?

You should speak on the phone or skype with your GlobeMed Chapter about twice per month. Usually emails will be sent between these conversations. Historically, the chapters that communicate regularly with their partner organization are the most successful.

How do GlobeMed Chapters raise money? How much should I expect my chapter to raise this first year?

As students, GlobeMed chapter members work hard each year to raise the money to meet the goals of their partnership. They raise funds through holding events on campus , p lann ing ind iv idua l g i v ing campaigns, and applying for grants. In their first year, most chapters raise around $3000.

When and how should I contact the GlobeMed National Office?

Your GlobeMed Chapter Co-Presidents will be your primary point of contact. However, if you ever have questions or concerns, we are here to provide support. Email us at partnerships@globemed.org.

What is the difference between the Partnership Proposal Form and the Memorandum of Understanding?

The Partnership Proposal Form, which you have already completed, is the application for the GlobeMed National Office.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is completed with your GlobeMed Chapter and helps guide the partnership. The MOU ensures that you and your chapter bo th and agree to and understand your responsibilities and expectations. Each year, you and your chapter will work together to complete an MOU.

Why do you want to START A GLOBEMED CHAPTER?

“Global health involves addressing a variety of interrelated

health factors such as education, economic opportunities, and access to

basic resources. But beneath this complex web lies a simple truth: health

is a human right. ... For me, it is hard to turn a blind eye when this

suffering can be averted by the careful and purposive efforts from those

that are more fortunate. [Interning with a physician at a rural hospital in

Gujarat, India] has truly shaped me to care about different people and

the health of their community. ”

-- Ani Mannari, Chapter Founder, GlobeMed at Wayne State University

The presence of five globemed at ucla

members in uganda allowed our

organizations to unite over our visions and

continue to set goals that we would like to see materialize within

our communities.-susan ajok, Straight talk foundation
