The University of Memphis School of Public Health has signed a memorandum of understanding
with the Canada International Scientific Exchange Program to strengthen collaboration
in public health diplomacy, global health practice, and international engagement.

Through the partnership, UofM SPH and CISEPO will support the development of experiential, competency-based training opportunities for students, as well as curriculum modules and case studies focused on public health diplomacy. These efforts will help equip future public health professionals with the knowledge, skills, and global perspective needed to navigate health challenges that extend across borders.
The MOU also opens the door for expanded research partnerships, faculty engagement, and collaborative programming that position UofM SPH as a growing leader in public health diplomacy education and practice.
By connecting academic expertise with international collaboration, the partnership reflects the school’s commitment to preparing students for leadership in a rapidly changing global health landscape while advancing meaningful, solution-focused engagement around the world.
