Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine will launch its first Master of Science program in Global Health in Winter 2026.
Dr. Chad Perlyn, executive vice president, chief medical officer and executive medical director of NSU Health, and dean of the Dr. Kiran C.
Patel College of Allopathic Medicine, said the M.Sc. program has students learn about humanitarianism.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity for students to understand what care looks like around the world and how care differs in high income countries versus low income countries,” Perlyn said.
“What I am excited about is to train the next generation of humanitarians.”
Imelda Moise, director of the M. Sc. in Global Health and associate professor of medical education, said students taking global health can learn how they can contribute internationally.
“Our program is really focused on preparing students to lead, to innovate, as well as collaborate across borders in addressing global public health challenges,” Moise said.
Stachyse Stanis, alumna of the Dr. Kiran C.
Patel College of Allopathic Medicine and a winter graduate with a Doctor of Medicine degree, said she is excited to return to NSU and get the M.
Sc. degree because the program provides students with professional opportunities.
“I believe that continuing my education and getting a master’s in global health is something that will definitely be beneficial to me, not only as a physician, but as a global health leader,” Santis said.
Perlyn said students in the program will understand how global health combines different disciplines, such as medicine, geopolitics, conflict resolution, and geography.
“I hope that those students who come out of our program go on to have very different careers,” Perlyn said.
“There are so many opportunities that this education can lead to for our students.”
