Professional Issues: Global Health in Physical Therapy
Dr. Linda Horn
School of Medicine
In Professional Issues II (DPTE 515), first year physical therapy students are introduced to global health. We discuss the different health systems in a variety of countries and universal health coverage. The GLOBALtimore Teaching Fellowship will provide resources to update and expand this content to be more contemporary and meaningful. Global health is discussed with both an international and a local perspective. The fellowship will provide the tools to investigate whether the COIL could be utilized in the DPT program.
