Purpose: To enable success for global health programs planned and conducted by U.S. Government Agencies. This course is designed to develop an understanding of the civil and military considerations at the nexus of global health and security, and enhance competency to develop whole-of-government strategies and programs to strengthen health systems and counter transnational health threats. Participants will build and strengthen their understanding of the global health arena and their capacity to use strategic guidance to develop effective global health strategies and programs. Instruction and exercises will provide the understanding and skill set needed to plan and execute programs that support the National Security Strategy, US Global Health Security Agenda, Combatant Command Theater Cooperation Plans, and country-specific campaign plans. Participants will learn to collect and analyze health information to identify and plan appropriate health engagement strategies to meet the needs of the partner country and fit within USG priorities and guidance From a DoD perspective, this course is designed to provide the CCMD GHE Program Manager with the understanding and tools necessary to plan and execute a Command’s GHE Program. This task/mission being to develop and manage a program where the CCMD is providing the strategic/long term level oversight and guidance to shape the use of health as a military engagement tool. This includes the development of processes and products to guide the shaping and execution of the tactical level health engagement activities conducted under the authority of the CCMD and the Service Components. This will be accomplished through a process of building a contextual understanding of the global health space (week 1) and then applying this understanding to enable the conduct of health engagement activities (week 2). The GHSS course was first conducted in August of 2012 at the Johns Hopkins University Rockville campus. This first iteration was a 4-week in residence effort developed and conducted in collaboration with Dr. Gil Burnham of Johns Hopkins University. Subsequent iterations of the course were reduced to two weeks and conducted annually since 2014. Each of these iterations was conducted in partnership with the Division of International Health Security under the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at the Department of Health and Human Services. The course has been conducted via a combination of lecture, group discussion, and small group activities designed to help participants apply the lessons discussed in the course to produce a country-specific global health engagement plan.
