Summit
The GlobeMed Summit hosted students, young professionals, community leaders, and other key individuals from around the world to share diverse perspectives and innovative approaches to advancing health equity. The multi-day program provided delegates with a critical understanding of the intersection between global health and social justice, explored ethical practices in global engagement, and provided a space for like-minded individuals to network and form relationships. Through expert panels, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities, the GlobeMed Summit advanced learning and collaboration and inspires delegates to lead change in their community and beyond.
Notable speakers have included Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General of the World Health Organization; Leymah Gbowee, 2011 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate; Dr. Paul Farmer, co-founder of Partners in Health; Dr. Raj Panjabi, Founder of Last Mile Health; Pamela Angwech, executive director of Gulu Women’s Economic Development & Globalisation; Dr. Roopa Dhatt, executive director of Women in Global Health; and George Aye, co-founder of Greater Good Studio, among many others.
“[The] GlobeMed Submit has been one of the most wonderful [events] I have ever attended. The approach and encouragement a student gets to work in the field of global health is the best part that motivated me to be part of it. I look forward to continuing my involvement in GlobeMed through my own country.”
