Our Team.
Dr. Megan Hudson is the proud founder of Global Health ImPAct.
Her 14 years of clinical experience and global health involvement has propelled her to create the same opportunities for other PAs across the globe. As the leader of GHI, Dr. Hudson is always reminding her team to be imPAct focused and ensuring that our global health experiences are sustainable and empowering to the communities we partner with.
Katie is our secretary and a voting member on our Board of Directors. She is also currently a PA student at Barry University graduating in December of 2025! Katie has gone on several international service trips, including two led by GHI founder Megan Hudson, to Uganda, Africa visiting the Watoto Villages. Her desire to aid in launching Global Health Impact comes from a place of passion for serving the underserved, as well as seeing first-hand the influence of medical service trips. Throughout her PA education she believes her global experiences have equipped her with skills to be a stronger student, while also developing her into the compassionate and competent PA she hopes to become. She greatly encourages these kinds of experiences for all aspiring clinicians and truly believes in the impact these trips can have on those being served as well as on the serving students in their journey to become the best health care providers they can be!
