International health cannot be viewed either as disease or country specific. We need to examine all transboundary and transdisciplinary conditions that affect health. The word "international" is literally defined in terms of national borders, whereas the word "global" encompasses the entire world.

If medical, public health, and nursing students work together, we can change global health. This collaborative effort in global health research will help us to cross geographic, economic, and all other boundaries that divide our fields.
