You have reached the Global Health Pathology Network (GHPN) website.
We are a small, but growing team across professions within pathology to serve as a centralized resource and knowledge base to facilitate pathology engagement in Global Health.
The network is open to all countries for pathologists, pathology residents and veterinary students to join, as well as other professions that seek pathology engagement in their institution or work.
Our three main focus areas are to 1) provide shared informational and guidance forums to facilitate meaningful international engagement and support outreach by educational programs; 2) facilitate self-directed connections in the network that may lend to regional/country-specific groups for joint capacity building; and 3) use the network expertise to respond to requests for ground work pathology training and basic work in less developed countries received by the CL Davis and SW Thompson DVM Foundation under which we operate.
