GLOBAL HEALTH STRATEGIES FOR SECURITY (GHSS)

The Global Health Strategies for Security (GHSS) course is designed to explore the strategic-level context for DoD GHE. This context includes the drivers and strategies for broader USG engagement in the global health space, the USG interagency, academic and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and DoD GHE efforts. GHSS targets DoD medical and non-medical personnel who may influence the planning, assessment, implementation, and evaluation of DoD GHEs. Participation is welcomed and encouraged from international military partners, other USG agencies, NGOs, and academia, who offer different perspectives and additional insight to the course learning objectives. GHSS is offered once per year in the National Capital Region as a collaborative leadership seminar.
