Women in Global Health Research Initiative
2018 Women in Global Health Research Symposium
Our third annual conference on women in global health research focused on evidence-based interventions to promote the retention and ascent of women to leadership positions in global health. This was our first conference accepting scientific abstracts in order to showcase the research that women leaders in global health are conducting. We accepted abstracts in two categories:
1) Global Health Research, with particular consideration given to research on women's health
2) Evidence-based Interventions, designed to retain and promote female leaders in global health
