GHSP students

Global Health Scholars spotlight

May 9, 2025

Fourth year medical students Fatima Boumahchad and Ellen Model spent two weeks at Northern Navajo Medical Center in Shiprock, New Mexico.

"After completing my GH training experience, I now will approach my care of global populations with a better understanding of community-centered health practices," Boumahchad said.

Model said she is now interested in learning more about different indigenous tribes. 

"While I know that I will never be able to fully understand each culture I work with, I think it is important to keep trying to learn and continue to be open-minded," Model said.
