Section Announcements
IH Section Communications Chair Jessica Keralis attended APHA’s Mid-Year Meetingon healthcare reform. There were several interesting sessions on technology implications of reform, the public health workforce, advocacy, and others. Read all about it on the IH Blog here (July 22, 2011).
The IH Section has begun hosting topic-focused conference calls every other month. These calls will provide section members with an opportunity to listen to a guest speaker or fellow section member discuss current topics in international health and to ask questions. The section has held four calls to date; summaries of the calls can be read on the IH blog here. Information regarding these calls will be posted to the section blog and website and e-mailed to section membership (November 3, 2011).
The section website is undergoing a major reorganization to make sure that its information is up-to-date and relevant to section membership. Certain areas are still under construction, but the site now has an updated leadership roster and current lists of committee and working group chairs. Please be sure to check out the updated Resources/Links page as well (June 22, 2011)!
The IH Section’s mission is to (a) provide a multidisciplinary forum for scientific and public exchanges of knowledge and views on international and global health issues; (b) collaborate with those within APHA whose interests intersect with international and global health; (c) advocate for key international and global health issues within the Association and at various levels of government; (d) serve as advocate for the development and recognition of technically, scientifically and politically sound approaches to international and global health problems; and (e) mobilize interest and encourage debate among professionals and the public on international and global health issues. More information about the IH section's activities and governance can be found on the section's "About" page.
The section’s members, which number over 1500, are a broad range of international health professionals from students to professors, interns to program directors, and authorities on many aspects of international health. We live in over 60 countries and practically every state of the U.S.
