KUSKAYA: An Interdisciplinary Training Program for Innovation in Global Health

Global problems require multiple disciplines to create innovative solutions. However, opportunities for interdisciplinary training in global health (GH) are lacking for professionals in the global North and South. We provide an opportunity for interdisciplinary training through the Kuskaya Training Program (from the Quechua word meaning “working together”), which offers an bilateral, multi-institutional, cross-cultural, and problem-solving based research experience to encourage the development of a new generation of innovative leaders in GH and integrate knowledge for the advancement of solutions for GH problems.
