The document discusses Global Health field education programs that involve collaboration between academic institutions and NGOs. It uses a case study of a schistosomiasis control initiative in Tanzania to illustrate key challenges in global health projects including priority setting, community outreach, and sustainability. Through partnerships with local communities and NGOs, the initiative was able to screen over 1,200 people, provide health education, and generate income to subsidize treatment costs, showing how fieldwork experiences can effectively address health issues when community needs are prioritized.
