UW is playing a major role in a global health exhibit at the Seattle Center, showcasing the work of more than 30 area organizations at an exhibit at Seattle Center from June 19- Aug. 19.

More than 750 people from 31 universities and 17 states attended the 9th Annual Western Regional International Health Conference,   “At a Crossroads: Choosing Hidden Paths in Global Health” held on the UW campus April 27-29.  One of the highlights of the event was the inspirational  keynote talk, "Nothing Less than a Revolution: Why I'm Preoccupied with Inequality, Social Justice and Health," by acclaimed human rights advocate and thought leader Kavita Ramdas, the executive director of a newly launched program on social entrepreneurship at Stanford University.

The UW is one of five consortia of colleges and universities  to receive funds from the National Institutes of Health to help foster the next generation of global health scientists. The Fogarty Global Health Program for Fellows and Scholars program is building a network of U.S. academic institutions to provide early career physicians, veterinarians, dentists and scientists with a significant mentored research experience in a developing country.

This GHDonline.org Expert Panel discussion, organized in collaboration with Partners In Health in conjunction with the Program Management Guide (http://www.pih.org/library/pih-program-management-guide), will address the ways that monitoring and evaluation (M&E) can be used to assess whether, and how well, programs are being implemented as planned and achieving their goals and objectives. Kenneth Sherr, MPH, PhD, Assistant Prof. of Global Health at UW, will be part of the panel.
