Global Health Research in Practice
Three ways to learn global health research
The same material, pitched at three levels of commitment: read the book on your own, work through short lessons at your own pace, or take the full course with assessments and a badge. You can start with one and move to another, and the book stays open whichever you choose.
Read at your own pace
The book
The whole text, free to read online. Start anywhere, follow what interests you, and come back when a question comes up in your own work.

- Fourteen chapters, plus companion notes
- Nothing to finish

Which one should I pick?
If you are not sure, start with the mini-courses. They are free, you can begin without making an account, and nothing is locked — so the cost of finding out it is not for you is a few minutes rather than a term. The full course asks considerably more, and it is worth that when you want the badge and the structure that comes with it.
