This half day trainee-led satellite session will provide trainees with a diverse opportunities to broaden their understanding and master skills necessary to navigate the politics of global health, as well as the opportunity to further develop a peer network of culturally and professionally diverse trainees who share a similar passion. Students will not only be able to hear about the experiences of several leaders from a wide variety of fields within the global health community, but also be able to directly interact with them through a series of unique skill building breakout sessions.

The day will feature Keynote Speaker J. Stephen Morrison, PhD, senior vice president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and director of its Global Health Policy Center, who has served as an expert in global health policy for several decades within the Clinton administration, USAID, and during the second Obama term. Morrison will then moderate a panel of exceptional leaders who will speak to their personal triumphs and struggles in navigating the political landscape of global health followed by a debate of a current dilemma facing the global health community. Guest speakers include Nelson Sewankambo, past Principal of Makerere University College of Health Sciences in Uganda; Michele Barry, Director of Center for Innovation in Global Health at Stanford University; and Judith Wasserheit, Chair of the Department of Global Health at the University of Washington. Several small breakout sessions with leaders in global health policy will then grant students the opportunity to interact directly with peers as well as experts in the field.
