Global Health Perspectives (GHP) program is a cross-cultural, inclusive outreach program for students that is focused on student development in global health settings in Denver, Houston, and around the world.
GHP combines classroom training with in-field service-learning internships and is integrated throughout the Denver College of Nursing curriculum path. Students are invited to participate in GHP from their first quarter of enrollment, through their coursework, and even as Denver College of Nursing alumni.
Student membership in GHP requires attendance at global development symposiums and service-learning volunteer hours at multiple community-based organizations.

Upon successful completion of GHP internships, students may earn clinical credit for their work where eligible and more profoundly gain the tools and experiences to broaden their perspectives in global healthcare.
