*Medsin's 10th Anniversary Global Health seminar. *

*Hosted by the UCL Centre for International Health and Development. *

*Health as a Foreign Policy*

* *

This is your invitation to attend Medsin's 10th anniversary seminar. It's
going to be a fantastic afternoon in which you'll be able to explore the hot
topic of health as a foreign policy. There are 4 great speakers lined up to
talk about the main issues. After you've heard what they've got to say the
afternoon will finish in a panel discussion, to explore the issues raised
further.



This is a unique opportunity to meet these interesting speakers and learn
about an emerging topic. The afternoon will allow for longer speeches than
at a Medsin conference and also a more intimate panel discussion so we can
all really debate the issues.



This exciting afternoon will mean that Medsin members old and new can
interact and share views. In the spirit of this, the afternoon will be
chaired by Emily Spry the past president of Medsin and the IFMSA.
