Week 14 is over and we've come to the end of the semester and while I'm elated to be graduating, it seems a bit bittersweet, as I no longer have the safety net of school and must go out into the real world.
It's a also a very exciting time, as my colleagues are working on creating a project we hope will go on beyond our careers at USC.
We're starting a new venture called the Global Health Review
with a newsletter publication, website and multimedia components, similar to the law reviews put out by law students. Global Health Review's mission is to increase awareness of global health issues, needs, and opportunities, to promote education & initiative, and to facilitate change in global health.
The newsletter is most likely going to be on a monthly basis with email blasts to PH students at USC as well as other stakeholders and PH professionals around the globe (connections will be facilitated by our prof. Dr. G. Shahi), and the website will provide a channel for for people to sign up for publications, to find resources, to post media (i.e. documentaries, interviews, etc.), to mediate a forum, to create a blog and for networking. Eventually we will put out a journal once we've established the endeavor.
Stay Tuned for more on Global Health Review.
Yet another reason for the excitement is the publication of our book Emerging Trends in Global Health, which is a compilation put together by Dr. Shahi of our topical review papers from PM 565 and it's available for purchase and all proceeds go to the Global Health Review. So please purchase away!
P.S. When this class is over and I start my practicum in India at the end of May this blog will be transformed as a journal for my Indian adventures. I'm very excited about that as well.
