Education
Overview
Inter-professional and interdisciplinary training reduce misunderstanding and improve cooperation among diverse groups of people with the common goal of the well-being of the patient through cultural competency and greater equity in health care service delivery.
These programs train future health care leaders in innovative and interprofessional ways that will provide them with a foundation to be committed leaders, critical and analytical thinkers, and active and engaged citizens in the global community.
Joint faculty appointments between the academic and clinical institutions in the alliance enable outstanding faculty to have multiple academic homes and facilitate development of a strong research and education engine.

Global Health
The Global Health Working Group (GHWG) is part of the DHSA, to further its mission of collaboration across its member institutions. In our case, we work on global health issues, in the domains of education, research, practice, advocacy and scholarship.
Previous Pilot Grants for Education
During pilot grant funding rounds, educators drawn from the four institutions are invited to submit a five-page education/scholarly activity research or project proposals. These proposals can be focused on either a new, unique, inter- institutional educational program or educational research question.
