The 12th Annual Global Health Mini-University is being held on September 14th, 2012, at the Cloyd Heck Marvin Center on George Washington University’s campus. This is a free, day-long event that brings together professionals working in a variety of global health areas with presentations that highlight evidence-based best practices and state-of-the-art information.
At past Mini-U events, over 1,000 students, medical professionals, public health experts, members of the military, NGOs, and various other attendees have taken advantage of this unique networking opportunity to engage with diverse professionals with shared global health interests.
With over 60 concurrent sessions, attendees have a wide range of topics to choose from. Among them, Disrespect and Abuse: Safe Motherhood’s “Veil of Silence” will explain how disrespect and abuse in health systems hinder safe motherhood; Follow the mMoney will teach how mobile technology interventions using mobile money can improve public health indicators; and for those looking to broaden their audience and better disseminate their health promotion messages, Global Health and Social Media: How Do You ‘Like’ that Tweet? will share tips on how to effectively leverage social media tools such as Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter.
