Please join us for the kickoff of the Center for Global Health Equity’s (CGHE) Annual Research Symposium. Hear from Director, Dr. Scott Heysell, about the work of the CGHE and its impact on our students, faculty, and communities around the globe. Dr. Heysell will be joined by keynote speaker, Dr. Tracy Rabin, Director of the Office of Global Health at the Yale School of Medicine.
For the keynote address, Global Health Collaboration: Perspectives on Strengthening Relationships, Navigating Ebola, and Addressing Sociopolitical Challenges, Dr. Rabin will discuss her work in Uganda not only navigating an Ebola outbreak but how potentially discriminatory policies in laws shared in Uganda and the US impact health, and the role of scientists and educators in these contentious spaces.
Following Dr. Rabin’s presentation, there be an opportunity to ask questions about the conversation. We look forward to seeing you online!
The viewing link to join us will be sent via email before the event.
