What is the Global Health Conference?

Hosted by the Australian Medical Student’s Association (AMSA), The Global Health Conference responds to a growing demand for focus on topics effecting human-kind on a global scale. From an inaugural cohort of 200 students in Sydney in 2005, the event has almost doubled in size, a testament to the interest among medical students and the ongoing high calibre of the conference.

During the conference delegates will learn about global health issues from internationally renowned keynote speakers.  You will be inspired by the work that is being done all over the world by specialists in their field, and be empowered with practical skills to help bring about real change through interactive workshops. Furthermore you will meet many likeminded people during the exciting Social Programme

Where: Hobart (Tasmania), Australia.

When: 1-4 July 2010. (Pre conference workshops 29-30 June)
