You're invited to UBC-UAEM's Annual Introductory Seminar!

[Sonja Babovic]

Dear Public Health Journal Club members,

I'm really pleased to invite you all to UBC-UAEM's Annual Introductory Seminar!  Think of it as an interactive crash course on access to medicines issues - there will be talks, but also many opportunities for asking questions and rich discussion.  We will also introduce the projects UBC-UAEM is hoping to tackle this year, so if you've been meaning to get involved (or re-involved) with UAEM, now is the perfect opportunity. 

Details about this event:  

UAEM Introductory Seminar

Medical research at universities has a major impact on people's health around the world. How can we ensure that universities do the research that is most desperately needed?  How can we ensure that people in poor countries have access to the fruits of that research? 

Join us for this comprehensive intro to crucial global health topics such as drug development, patenting, and access to treatment – whether you’d like to get involved, or just learn about these important issues.

Date: Monday, October 3rd

Location: Abdul Ladha Science Students' Centre, UBC Campus 

Time: 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm

Cost: Free of charge
