Special attention is given to community assessment, assurance, and policy development.
Our alumni provide service through leadership positions throughout the world. This conference is open to all public health students, faculty and health care professionals, better health advocates, and concerned citizens of the world. Just as Garrett predicted the outbreak and resurgence of several communicable diseases, including the Ebola virus, in her New York Times bestseller The Coming Plague, she once again uses her reporting skills, traveling around the world, to expose risks in world globalization and the dire state of many health systems. A dynamic speaker with a captivating and informative multi-media presentation, Garrett forces her audiences to rethink our public health system with a frank sense of urgency. Examples given supporting this assertion are contemporary India, all the former Soviet nations, and central Africa, all based on first hand observation.
