The strategic planning process of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS) identified Global Health as an area of emphasis for the institution. To promote this strong vision regarding global health and unify efforts the Rutgers Global Health Insitiute was created in 2016 under the leadership of the Henry Rutgers Chair of Global Health (Dr. Ric Marlink). To support this university-wide initiative, Rutgers NJMS created the Office of Global Health in December 2016 with the goal to formalize and enhance global health efforts via the following steps::

  1. Document, collate and consolidate existing global health activities
  2. Provide support to faculty, learners and staff interested in global health
  3. Educate the Rutgers NJMS community regarding global health issues
  4. Provide a means to coordinate global health activities within Rutgers NJMS, and with the Rutgers Global Health Institute, RBHS and Rutgers as a whole

The Rutgers NJMS - Office of Global Health (OGH) is a "virtual" office that resides within the NJMS Office for Diversity and Community Engagement (ODACE). OGH is currently led by Ziad Sifri, MD (Director), Harsh Sule, MD, MPP (Associate Director) and Marquiah Geiger (Administrative Coordinator).
