Purpose and Theme
GlobeMed Penn State’s first annual Global Health Conference aims to establish a basis for the “Second Revolution.” Our Generation’s Role in Global Health will strategically address where we stand and how we can progress in unison. The conference will provide the means for students, faculty and global health leaders to collaborate and share approaches. Together, we can make a large impact in the world of Global Health. We invite you to join us on this mission. The purpose of this conference is to train dynamic global health leaders. Attendees will be provided with the information and tools to understand the issues facing our generation and how we can work together in solidarity to bring about change.
Goals
Although the objectives of this conference vary across the global health spectrum, they can be surmised in two words, “pragmatic solidarity.” Through this conference, we hope to not only share our global health passion with others, but to also formulate an agenda upon which we can work together to address the problems facing our world.
A keynote speaker and leaders in specific areas of research, who have the unique insight not available to those who are not involved in the corporate global health climate, will present workshops and lectures to students interested in becoming dynamic leaders in global health. Lectures will include topics that can be directly applied by the students who attend to matters of Global Health.
We invite you to join our mission in ensuring the right to a quality life for all humans.
