McGill Summer Institutes in Global Health | May 20 - June 13, 2025

We were thrilled to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Summer Institutes in 2025! Over the past decade, we have proudly delivered short courses designed for students and professionals alike. In 2025, we offered 16 courses in a combination of online, in-person, and hybrid formats. Our courses provide valuable professional development opportunities for individuals working in universities, clinical settings, research institutes, non-profit organizations, and industry. They also serve as excellent supplemental learning for students eager to deepen their knowledge.

Thank you to all the attendees of the 2025 McGill Summer Institutes in Global Health! Information about the 2026 Summer Institutes will be published late in the Fall of 2025.

Partners of the Summer Institutes:

Recognizing that McGill University and Canada are on unceded Indigenous land, and that the social determinants of health disproportionately affect the peoples of Indigenous nations, we acknowledge that the McGill School of Population and Global Health (including the McGill Summer Institutes in Global Health) is situated on the traditional territory of the Kanien'kehà:ka, which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous Peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous Peoples whose presence marks this territory on which peoples of the world now gather.
