The Office of Planetary Health and Global Engagement (PaGE) coordinates Yale School of Nursing’s programs worldwide by developing and organizing academic activities on planetary and global health in collaboration with global partners. PaGE believes in fostering an environment focused on health education rooted in science, global partnership, and cultural awareness. The office’s initiatives focus on improving the health of communities in the United States and around the world by promoting a global learning experience through diverse opportunities for collaborative research and scholarship. PaGE also serves as the intersecting point for connections and opportunities across Yale, including with the Yale Institute for Global Health. Members of the YSN community interested in global academic or research work domestically or internationally are encouraged to consult PaGE and its resources.
