Epidemic Simulation - Remember the cholera outbreak in
Haiti that began in 2010? There were many social, political, and cultural
entities involved in the relief efforts. We will be holding a mock session to
simulate the interactions between these stakeholders, in order to learn about
epidemics in a real-life scenario. (Please refrain from actually bringing
cholera to the symposium. Thank you.)
Student Panels - We want to hear about your experiences
with health disparities. If you have conducted research or volunteered in a
relevant setting, please consider participating in a panel!
Topic Debates - Participants will be invited to engage
in formal debates about popular issues in health. This year’s topics will be
(a) needle exchange programs and (b) the effect of the democratic process on
health. We are currently looking for students who wish to represent a side in
one of these debates!
Case Study Discussions - Students will be invited to
participate in discussions of case studies related to health disparities. See www.uaidintl.org/symposium/ for a complete
list of topics. We are currently looking for students who wish to facilitate
the discussions on a case study!
Speakers - A number of distinguished speakers who are
experts in their fields will be discussing current issues in health.
