Why you’re interested in global health: Health is so important and has such far reaching effects, yet there is much inequality in access to healthcare and in healthcare outcomes, both within the US and abroad. I’m interested in global health because I want to learn more about individuals’ different priorities, their cultures, and the ways in which healthcare is delivered in their communities — I think it’s necessary to have an understanding of these in order to work toward eliminating these inequalities.
