Her 14 years of clinical experience and global health involvement has propelled her to create the same opportunities for other PAs across the globe.

Katie is a graduate of Barry University. She 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!
Our Team.
Corbi Sandoe leads the development and stewardship of strategic partnerships with academic institutions and international organizations. In this role, she works to expand access to meaningful, ethically grounded global health experiences that prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals to serve diverse and underserved populations.
Corbi brings both academic and clinical expertise to her leadership. She holds a Master of Public Health with a focus in community development and global health. She also serves as faculty for the Physician Assistant program at Agnes Scott College, where she is actively involved in training and mentoring future clinicians. Clinically, she practices in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), where she provides care to critically ill children and supports families during some of their most vulnerable moments.
Her passion for global health is deeply personal. Corbi grew up in both Madagascar and Kenya, experiences that profoundly shaped her worldview and cultivated a lifelong commitment to cross-cultural collaboration and health equity. During PA school, she completed a clinical rotation in Kenya, an experience that strengthened her desire to help create sustainable, partnership-driven international rotations for students.
Her training in public health, combined with her clinical background and lived international experience, allows her to approach global partnerships with cultural humility, strategic vision, and a commitment to sustainable impact. Through her work with Global Health ImPAct, Corbi is dedicated to building authentic global partnerships that foster mutual growth, empower communities, and equip healthcare learners to become compassionate, culturally responsive clinicians.
