Seven groups of Vanderbilt Institute for Global Health (VIGH) faculty, staff, and trainees will present at the annual international conference of the Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH). Established in 2008 with a mission focused on empowering academic institutions and other partners to address global health challenges and ultimately transform global health, CUGH works to improve the well-being of people and the planet through education, research, service, and advocacy.
This annual international conference draws educators, researchers, and practitioners from multiple medical and non-medical disciplines from around the globe. Speakers and presenters worldwide share their research, experiences, and best practices in global health work. The conference will be held virtually from March 28 thru April 1. The seven VIGH groups will present their work in various formats, including live panels, pre-recorded oral presentations, and e-posters.
