UCGHI invites abstracts for poster presentations and proposals for breakout sessions that exemplify the breadth, depth and transformative possibilities of current global health research, education, and program development. UCGHI seeks a broad range of presentations to showcase the rich diversity of work being done in global health across different UC campuses and disciplines. Approaches may range from basic and translational global health science to community struggles for health justice, with possible topics including (but not limited to) access to medicines, agroecology, bioethics, climate crisis, community health workers, genomics, health humanities, indigenous health, mental health, migrant health, pandemics, racial justice, women’s health, and LGBTQIA health. We are seeking a broad range of topics to feature the rich diversity of work being done in global health across different disciplines.
“ Deep Medicine is nothing short of reimagining the world and understanding that revolutionary transformational action is an act of care and an act of courage. The most potent revolution is the revolution of love…of transforming the world around us through very consciously transforming power.”
-Rupa Marya,, MD Activist and Professor of Medicine at University of California San Francisco
