Joseph Rhatigan, MD

Dr. Rhatigan’s work involves understanding how health care is delivered in low-resource settings globally and in global health professional education. He has led efforts to design, write, and edit a series of educational case studies and teaching notes that have helped define the emerging field of global health care delivery and that are used in courses across Harvard and other universities. He served as co-PI on HMS’s role in the Rwandan Human Resources for Health project, a U.S. government–funded multi-year grant to strengthen post-graduate medical education in Rwanda. As a result of that work, he was part of a group that help found a new university and medical school in Rwanda, the University of Global Health Equity. He continues to help lead HMS’s collaboration with UGHE.
