The Sustainable Health Initiative (SHI), based in the Yale Institute for Global Health, empowers student entrepreneurs to create innovative solutions to health challenges in low- and middle-income countries and under resourced areas in the United States.

SHI provides a community of practice where student innovators working in global health at all stages can learn, connect, and grow. SHI organizes monthly community gatherings featuring global health experts, skill sessions, and venture feedback opportunities. Teams meet monthly during the academic semester to learn from global health innovators, build skills, and iterate on their ventures. Weekly peer mentoring is provided by SHI fellows, and teams have monthly coaching calls with the SHI managing director as well as ad-hoc access to SHI Mentors-in-Residence.
