Fostering Urban Health Equity and Resiliency through Transnational Education (FUERTE)
This partnership between Drexel University and Universidad de Los Andes seeks to address global challenges in urban health and health equity by building the intercultural and technical skills of the next generation of public health researchers and practitioners. To achieve this goal, the two universities will work together to increase opportunities for student exchange and participation in global practicums that will allow students to collaboratively apply their knowledge to important issues in urban health, health equity, and resiliency. The joint seminar series and the collaboration on ongoing community-based research will make this experience unique and innovative for the future engineers, medical doctors, and public health practitioners that will participate.
