Global Health Research Expert Panel Discussion

Please join us in a virtual workshop series on Global Health research! The workshop series aims to help participants have a better understanding of the most common practical issues in global health research, and offer the opportunities to share their own experience, expand professional network, and discuss with peers about the problems faced in the field.

The series comprises two sessions:

Session 1:  Expert Panel Discussion 

Time: Friday, May 28th, 9:00-10:30 AM

Three global health research experts with extensive experience in Africa, Asia and Latin America will give a talk and answer your commonly-asked questions on global health research.

Session 2: Hands-on case practice workshop

Students will work in groups to discuss real-life scenarios related to global health research. There will be small prizes for all groups.

You can choose to attend either or both of the events, depending on your availability. Please note that the second session has limited capacity and we will prioritize UNC graduate students first.
