The Global Health Education Faculty Interest Group (GHE-FIG) convened by the Global Health Sciences - Education group, is interested in promoting the sharing of 'best practices' for global health programs across campus, with the goal of modeling future global health partnerships.

In the spirit of appreciative inquiry, we conducted this conversation in a shared space allowing us to get to know each other's work and become familiar with UCSF programs that have taken interesting approaches to and/or are experiencing success in areas that we all recognize are important, such as sustainability, reciprocity and clear program evaluation.

The areas highlighted below have emerged out of an iterative conversation within the GHE-FIG group, the GHS educational leadership and others.
