On behalf of the Board of Directors of The Global Health Leaders Conference at Johns Hopkins University, I would like to invite your students in grades 9-12 who are interested in global health and medicine to apply to participate in our 2022 virtual program.
Our international conference is a Johns Hopkins University student and faculty-led program; at our conference, students learn about issues in global health, public health, and medicine through world-class lectures from leaders in these fields, forge connections with like-minded exceptional students, and share their own work and ideas on global health-related topics at the international scale by having the opportunity to present in our student speaker series. Featured speakers at our conference have included leading global health researchers, physicians, policy developers, and Nobel Prize winners. In short, the purpose of our program is to develop the next generation of leaders in global health, public health, and medicine.
Virtual conference programming (such as featured speaker presentations, student presentations, etc.) will be held throughout the late spring/early summer of 2022. The conference fee for admitted students is $49 USD; if the fee places a significant financial burden on a student’s family, financial assistance is available as we do not want the fee to be a barrier for any deserving student. There are no application fees.
The conference application is available on our website (https://glohea.org) and will be open until March 13th, 2022. Admission into our program is competitive, so we highly encourage students to apply as early as possible.
Please do not hesitate to email us at ghlcjhu@glohea.org or visit our website if you would like any clarification or have any questions. I have attached a conference flyer to this email, and we hope your interested students will take advantage of this opportunity - we look forward to reviewing their applications!
