We are proud to highlight the incredible work happening in our Global Health Leadership Capstone course! Sixty-four participants in 18 countries are working on capstone projects that span topics such as service delivery strengthening, sustainable health financing, health workforce recruitment, and more. These projects reflect the real-world challenges and priorities facing health systems worldwide, and the practical leadership skills our participants are applying to address them.

During the course, participants are paired with experienced faculty coaches who provide individualized guidance to help translate leadership frameworks into practical, context-specific strategies for each project. With gratitude to our faculty coaches, we are excited to support this global community of practitioners and are looking forward to seeing the outcomes of their capstone work.

These capstone projects are the culminating step towards earning the Global Health Leadership Professional Diploma. Learn more about the diploma here: https://edgh.washington.edu/courses/global-health-leadership-professional-diploma/
