Weill Cornell Medical College is one of the leading medical schools in the field of international medicine. For over fifty years Weill Cornell faculty have been actively involved in research and health care in many parts of the developing world. Many students are interested in exploring careers in these fields as well as having elective experience to enhance their understanding of health care in settings without advanced technology. The Medical College also has several relationships with medical schools and hospitals in Europe with a focus on comparative health care systems.

The Office of Global Health Education (OGHE) oversees and coordinates the global health electives program for Weill Cornell medical students who wish to participate in an international experience (clinical, community service, research). OGHE's programs enable the student to obtain a global perspective of how medical care is provided in other countries. Additionally, the Office oversees and coordinates clinical elective placements for visiting international medical students in their final year of medical school. OGHE was established by the Dean of the medical college to administer global health education activities that now include international clinical electives placements and a global health education curriculum.
