Have you considered that even if you never step foot outside of the United States you will practice “globalized” health care due to immigration, world travel, our global food system, international trade agreements, climate change, and sociopolitical instability? The AMSA Training Ground: Seize Your Advantage in Public and Global Health will be held at the UNC School of Medicine in Chapel Hill on October 25-26. In the morning, you will examine todays pressing issues in global and public health. The afternoon will be filled with discussion and hands-on problem solving, preparing you for action and advocacy. In addition, there will be professional skills development and clinical skills workshops. Confirmed speakers and facilitators include leading experts in global health, medicine, sociology, anthropology, human rights, and health policy, and include John Flanigan, MD, Center for Global Health at NIH and Preston Reynolds, MD, PhD, MACP, Center on Health Disparities at UVA School of Medicine, as well as thought leaders from the Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity, Health GAP, the US National Committee for UN Women, RESULTS, Duke, Wake Forest, and more.
