The UC San Diego Global Health Program, Students for Global Health and the Global Forum are proud to bring you the Quarterly Conversations series, an opportunity for the Global Health community to come together to discuss relevant issues in the field from an interdisciplinary perspective and increase community interaction at UC San Diego.

The number one question we hear from emerging Global Health scholars is: “How should I apply my Global Health degree to life after college?” Some global health professionals work with national leaders to shape healthcare within developing nations, while others collaborate with government agencies, NGOs, or relief organizations to promote healthy practices worldwide. Whether you analyze data, influence health policy, or support regions of individuals to improve their well-being, there are endless opportunities to shape the field of global health. Join us as our speaker panel delves into the diverse paths they have taken in their careers, sharing insights into the challenges and triumphs they’ve encountered while making a significant impact on tackling health disparities.

*We are encouraging in-person attendance for the event to get the most out of the speaker presentations and the panel.

Our panel speakers are:
⭐️Radhika Bhavsar, MPH, PMP, CHES
UC San Diego Global Health Program Faculty & Senior Technical Innovation Specialist at Global Communities

⭐️Dr. Nile El Wardani, PhD, MPH, MPhil
UC San Diego Global Health Program Faculty & Global Public Health Consultant

⭐️Dr. Elsa Villarino, MD, MPH
UC San Diego Global Health Program Faculty & Medical Epidemiologist at the California Department of Public Health (CDPH)
