Global Health Summer Program 2013
“Global Health Professional: Leadership and Communication, that makes a difference”

Continuing on from last year, Health and Global Policy Institute will again organize a Global Health Summer Program, co-sponsored with the Department of Global Health Policy at the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of Medicine. The aim of the program is to discover and develop young talent capable of becoming next-generation leaders in the global health field, through provision of a program that enables them to cooperate with leaders active at the front line of diverse fields in order to devise and implement an action plan.

This year, Students aim to present their own solutions on the topic of “Health Promotion ”, based on the fieldwork in Tohoku. We look forward to receiving applications from students with various back grounds who are interested in global health and disaster medical relief, and who are willing to strive for solutions to global issues.
