Goals of the GREAT Program

GREAT is an intensive 5-day course. Students learn how to develop a research plan, understand the elements of the research process, and identify the health needs and healthcare delivery opportunities in their setting. The teaching is highly interactive and practical with short lectures and small group discussions with exercises. Students will be expected to complete assigned reading and view videos before the course and be able to do homework in the evenings without work- or family -related distractions.

  3. Quantify the burden of prevalent diseases in Thailand
