The Institute for Urban and Global Health is a research and education center that addresses the healthcare needs of the many New Yorkers born in foreign countries. The institute provides an innovative approach to community and international health, linking research, education, and patient care to high-priority health issues in New York City and abroad.

Education is an integral mission of the institute. Initiatives include a course that spans the four-year medical school curriculum. Through this program, medical students can be placed in specific community organizations and learn about urban health issues from grassroots healthcare workers. This course is becoming a model for medical schools across the country.
