Women in Global Health Research Initiative
2019 Women in Global Health Research Symposium
Our fourth annual conference highlighted research on women’s global health issues and had a dedicated session to establish policies and programs around the world to retain women in academic global health careers.
We accepted scientific abstracts in order to showcase the research that women leaders in global health are conducting. We accepted abstracts in two categories:
1) Global Health Research, with particular consideration given to research on women's health
2) Evidence-based Interventions, designed to retain and promote female leaders in global health
