GlobeMed was founded in 2006 by a group of passionate students who wanted to engage in global health in a way that had a lasting impact. The model they came up with has chapters of university students working in one-to-one, long-term partnership with a groundbreaking grassroots organization in Asia, Africa, or the Americas. As a part of this partnership, students participate in a Grassroots On-site Work, or GROW, internship with their partner, giving them an opportunity to learn directly from global health experts.

As part of our ongoing celebration of GlobeMed turning 15, Communications Intern Molly Wilde spoke with Stephanie Lux and Brooke Allnut from GlobeMed at University of Cincinnati. Stephanie shared about how she founded the chapter and laid the foundation for the strong relationship the chapter has today with their partner organization, Social Action for Women in Mae Sot, Thailand, and Brooke shares about how the chapter is maintaining that relationship.
