Our 6th Annual Global Health Conference, The G Word: Gender and Global Health, is coming September 23rd 2017. The Global Health Conference is dedicated to raising awareness about pressing global health issues. This will be a forum to discuss and analyze practices and policies that move us towards gender and health equity. This half-day conference is an opportunity for researchers, students, and co
mmunity members involved in global health to network and discuss exciting research, programs, and projects in the field. We hope to inspire participants to work collaboratively toward promoting equity in gender both locally and globally. The conference will be held on the University of Saskatchewan Campus in the Health Sciences E Wing. This year’s topic will be focused around gender in global health initiatives, research, and projects.

The conference will also host a poster expo to which students are encouraged to apply. Abstracts are welcomed from all disciplines and all interests in Global Health, including research, practice, policy and related areas.
