Global Health Seminar Series
The Global Health Seminar Series (GHSS) was created by a committee of
students and faculty advisors from the four Columbia University Medical
Center schools to serve several important purposes. Specifically, the
GHSS will:
| • |
broaden the exposure of students from all four schools to current
global health issues and controversies |
| • |
provide an opportunity for interested students to come together to
address some of the most critical health topics facing the world today |
| • |
encourage discourse and communication among the different CUMC communities
in a way that has never been done before |
| • |
confront the need to coordinate the health professions to solve a variety of
global health problems |
| • |
lead to the development of global health core curriculum at each CUMC school |
Each seminar will include a forty-five minute lecture, followed by forty-five minutes of
discussion/Q&A. The panels will differ slightly with each speaker having equal lecture
and discussion time.
