Science Literacy Week: “Global Health: opportunities to make a difference.”

Thursday, September 24, 2015 16:00to17:00
McIntyre Medical Building Room 208/209, 3655 promenade Sir William Osler, Montreal, QC, H3G 1Y6, CA

As part of the 2015 edition of Science Literacy week, Dr. Madhu Pai will be giving a special lecture on Global Health organized by the ۲ݮƵ Library.

As technological and other advances have increasingly made the world a more connected, and smaller place, global health has taken on even greater importance as diseases and viruses now make their way more rapidly around the planet. Although globalization brings challenges, it also offers tremendous opportunities for academic universities to make a meaningful contribution. This talk will introduce global health and the biggest global health challenges, and outline the various opportunities the field provides for students looking to make a difference.

۲ݮƵ University is located on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous Peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg Nations. ۲ݮƵ honours, recognizes, and respects these nations as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters on which peoples of the world now gather. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous Peoples from across Turtle Island. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
