Conferences and Workshops

In addition to participating in regional and national conferences on international health issues such as the Canadian Society for International Health (CSIH) and Student University Network on Social and International Health (SUNSIH) annual meetings, OMAF has hosted and will continue to host conferences on such issues at McGill.

EMERGING ILLNESS, EMERGING STATES: A one-day conference on International Health.
On Saturday, April 29, 2000, OMAF will host our second conference on current issues in International Health. This conference will address the interdependencies of disease and society. Presentations and workshops will discuss the effects of ecological, social, and political change on the rise of disease and in turn the impact of disease on the social landscape.

In May 1998, OMAF, in conjunction with the Student University Network on Social and International Health (SUNSIH), sponsored a regional conference entitled "Health for All by the 21st Century?" The conference drew 130 participants from 10 medical schools to discuss topics such as emerging infectious diseases, relief work, mental health, women's health, and opportunities for research or work abroad.

More than 20 faculty members and professionals from McGill, Sherbrooke, Université de Montreal, University of Toronto, Oxfam, and Medecins Sans Frontières participated and led discussions in both French and English. In addition, students who have participated in international work or electives shared their experiences. This was the second such conference hosted by OMAF in its short history.
