Border-Indigenous-Global Health [B.I.G.] Program

Mission

The Border-Indigenous-Global [B.I.G.] Health Program and its three component elements play vital roles in this border-state medical school.

Support and build students' interest in border, indigenous and global health.
Provide opportunities for students to experience both the challenges and gratification of working with companions, colleagues and communities from other cultures.
Enable a learning, mentoring, and working relationship between students and health professionals along the border, reservation lands and abroad.
