Annotated List of International Health-related Websites
A Google search on 15 August 2007 using the term "international health" (IH) generated ~1.19 billion hits in 0.24 seconds, up from ~710,000,000 in 2005; we certainly are in an area of increasing interest! The newer term, "global health," (GH) results in 'only' 461,000,000 hits. Statistical humor aside, and though we can't claim to have checked them all, these awesome numbers have been reduced to ~220 sites considered relevant to students and graduates of the health professions interested in global health (GH).This major update was carried out in collaboration with three students, with special thanks to Emily White for organizing student input.Laura Frye, American Medical Student AssociationUniversity of Kansas School of MedicineMeiqi Guo, SUNSIH (Student University Network for Social and International Health/Canada)Emily White, International Federation of Medical Students' Association-USAUniversity of California at San Diego School of MedicineWe started with a review of websites already posted by GHEC and various student and other organizations. Their listings were combined, reviewed, weeded, and where useful, annotated. Sites are grouped into the below categories for ease of use and many have links to yet additional IH-related organizations and activities. Websites especially useful for seeking IH jobs, field placements and pre-placement orientation are marked with two asterisks (**). At the end of this list is a brief outline of questions that may be useful to help you plan for an IH field experience or career. Happy surfing the net and any suggested additions, corrections, and deletions will be welcome. Please send them to Tom Hall (thall@epi.ucsf.edu).
