Audience: Students, health
practitioners and other professionals invested in Global Health
Through workshops, lectures, and discussions, health professionals, public
health workers, economists and students will examine the political and
economic factors affecting health, as well as specific case studies. In
addition, they will explore how the tools and products of various
disciplines -- including economics, law, engineering, technology, public
health, and medicine -- can be exploited to improve health in local
populations, as well as worldwide.
The aim of the conference is to provide attendees with new and practical
approaches to local and global health problems, as well as to promote an
understanding of how global health issues affect local, regional and
international health. The 4th Annual Western Regional International Health
Conference will be a forum for the exchange of ideas among local groups
working to improve health, as well as the initial step toward increased
collaboration.
