A New Journal and New Opportunities

Abstract

We welcome you to the inaugural issue of the University of Louisville Journal of Refugee and Global Health. The 21st century continues to see increasing interest in the health of the world’s populations. This interest may be spurred by the impact of societal changes and political influences on health conditions affecting us globally. Addressing health on a global platform requires embracing a holistic approach, creating a robust environment of learning. Key to success is support and involvement of a full array of professions and disciplines. This environment must promote rapid exchange of ideas, approaches, research, education, and outcomes on a platform of interprofessional collaboration.
