York\u2019s PhD joins the ranks of programs at the University of Toronto and McGill University, but its structure is intentionally flexible. Each student works with a supervisor to craft a research plan targeting a specific, real-world challenge. The goal is clear: produce research that doesn\u2019t just sit on a shelf, but informs policy and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/03\/Dr.-Godfred-O.-Boateng-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Godfred Boateng\" class=\"wp-image-351561\" style=\"width:265px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/03\/Dr.-Godfred-O.-Boateng-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/03\/Dr.-Godfred-O.-Boateng-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/03\/Dr.-Godfred-O.-Boateng-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/03\/Dr.-Godfred-O.-Boateng-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/03\/Dr.-Godfred-O.-Boateng.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Godfred Boateng<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe program cultivates critical and solutions-focused inquiry that unites expertise across multiple disciplines,\u201d says <strong>Godfred Boateng<\/strong>, professor of global health in York's <a href=\"http:\/\/www.health.yorku.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Faculty of Health<\/a> and Canada Research Chair in Global Health and Humanitarianism. \u201cWe want our graduates to become leaders who can bridge gaps between research, policy and front-line practice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inaugural cohort is as diverse as the field itself. <strong>Rupsha Mutsuddi<\/strong>, a doctoral researcher who previously designed dementia care programs, says the program\u2019s flexibility has allowed her to blend her design background with new research directions. Her doctoral work uses an interdisciplinary approach to focus on using human-centred design to improve the quality of life for people living with dementia in global communities, and builds on her master's thesis that examined the development of supportive technologies in augmented reality to help daily life for people living with dementia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBringing my experience as a designer to the field of global health has been a relatively smooth process due to the support of knowledgeable faculty and supportive peers,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to growing and learning more in the next few years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Naeema Hassan<\/strong>, a PhD candidate in the global health program, came to York after a career in health-care consulting and public sector projects. She is now investigating how AI can be managed responsibly in health systems \u2013 especially in countries with limited resources. She is building on her undergraduate studies in global health and is focused on prioritizing health equity through health care innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese experiences inspired me to think critically about the governance of digital tools, particularly artificial intelligence, as the digital age continues to transform health care globally,\u201d she says. Her research zeroes in on a pressing concern: ensuring that new technologies don\u2019t deepen existing health inequities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program\u2019s impact is already clear: members of the inaugural cohort have earned several major research awards for their doctoral work. Six students \u2013 <strong>Joanne Ong<\/strong>, <strong>Babatunde Odugbemi<\/strong>, <strong>Kathirvel Soundappan<\/strong>, <strong>Michael Davies-Venn<\/strong>, <strong>Naeema Hassan<\/strong> and Mutsuddi \u2013 received the Dahdaleh Global Health Graduate Scholarship, supporting projects that range from digital health equity to humanitarian health systems. Mutsuddi was also awarded the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) doctoral dissertation award for her research on human-centred design and dementia care. Odugbemi and Soundappan received the Canadian Antimicrobial Network Trainee Scholarship for their work on antimicrobial resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weekly seminars at the Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research connect participants with professionals from organizations such as the World Health Organization and M\u00e9decins Sans Fronti\u00e8res, grounding their work in the realities of global health practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interdisciplinary research brings valuable opportunities but also requires students to navigate the languages and expectations of multiple fields \u2013 and finding supervisors with the right expertise can be complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funding is competitive, and international research partnerships \u2013 especially in lower-income regions \u2013 require time, trust and careful negotiation. Boateng says these collaborations are essential for research that aims to make a difference, even if they require navigating regulatory environments, building relationships and working through resource constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re training the next generation of problem-solvers,\u201d Boateng says. \u201cBut we\u2019re also learning from them about what global health can and should look like in the 21st century.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/global-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Global
