Academic Partnerships
Faculty, student groups or students wishing to organize a group may contact Dr. Diana Rickard at rickard@ghei.org to discuss. We have had several partnerships over the last 20 years and currently partner with UCLA's pediatric residency program. Pediatric residents visit annually to do neonatal resuscitation training with providers throughout our district.
The highest priority in a partnership is identifying GHEI needs or community needs that can be met in a short stay while students can authentically contribute to our community.
