RIGHT Program
Through a competitive application process, two residents per year from the Internal Medicine and Pediatrics Programs are invited to participate in The Resident Initiative in Global Health at Tulane (RIGHT) Program. The RIGHT Program, funded by the Piper Global Health Fund, provides additional training to residents interested in a career in global health. By offering opportunities for residents to expand their medical knowledge and experience internationally, the program aims to add to the community of ethically-guided advocates for evidence-based holistic approaches to equitable care, locally and abroad.
