Global Health Journal Club

The Global Health Journal Club is a forum for discussion of issues among students and faculty with global health interests, with opportunities for global health networking within UCLA and throughout the greater Los Angeles community.

The journal club is an excellent opportunity to meet and interact with colleagues in Southern California who are working in or interested in a wide variety of global health disciplines. Attendees typically include MDs, residents, medical students, and postdoctoral fellows from UCLA and other Los Angeles-area medical centers; faculty and students with an interest in global health from schools of medicine, public health, public policy, law, and others; as well as members of NGOs and other groups working in developing countries. Previous journal clubs have been devoted to:

-- International HIV prevention research

-- Global malnutrition

-- Scale-up of antiretroviral therapy in Africa

-- Tuberculosis and TB vaccine studies

The journal club is held once a month during the UCLA academic year (September through May), typically from 6:30 to 9:00 pm on a Wednesday evening. Dinner is provided.

If you live in the Los Angeles area and would like to receive notices of future journal club meetings, please send an email to: globalhealth@mednet.ucla.edu with a Subject line that reads "Please add my email to the Global Health Journal Club list", along with a brief statement about yourself, your instituitional affiliation, and your interests.
