Global Health & Equity Distinction Pathway News Update for March 1, 2021

Greetings, all –

Thanks so much to everyone who joined us for the second part of our annual GHEDP Advocacy Writing workship, with Pranay Sinha – it was an enjoyable and robust conversation and I look forward to (hopefully) seeing some of these works in print! To that end, Pranay has shared a link from the Op-Ed project which provides a nice list of potential target publications for Op-Eds: https://www.theopedproject.org/submission-information

Announcing the Department of Medicine’s Global Health Virtual Poster Session! The poster session will take place online on Tuesday, March 16^th from 12-1pm. If your global health work has been previously been accepted for presentation at a local, regional, national, or international conference between April 2019 and March 2021, please join us and share that work with Yale colleagues. This virtual poster session will be the initial event in a week that culminates in our Tenth Annual Global Health Day Symposium on Thursday, March 18, entitled "Global Health Capacity Building at Yale – Past, Present and Future.” For more info, please see the attached flyer.
