Your gift of $2,500 directly supports a student traveling and studying abroad for one month to under-resourced countries around the world.

The Global Health Initiative could not be possible without our sponsors.

The Global Health Initiative is an extraordinary opportunity for public and private companies, foundations, and individual donors to further the education of medical students through charitable giving. Whether it is a donation of unrestricted funds or a grant made through your company’s philanthropic division, your corporate support serves to build a future for primary care doctors while helping to address the health care needs of people around the world.

Do you know someone who might be able to help us develop the Global Health Initiative? We are seeking local and national support from individuals, corporations, foundations and global health organizations who share our interest in helping under-resourced countries receive the same standard of health care that we have in the United States while encouraging the education and proliferation of primary care physicians.

Please contact the Executive Director of the Global Health Initiative, Cynthia Horvath Garbutt, J.D., at 312-926-6216 or send an email to cgarbutt@clsma.com to learn more about how you can help.
