Global Health Community (GHC)

Dear Global Health Community Members,

Hope you had a chance to attend the 2022 PharmSci 360 conference in Boston. We had our community membership meeting in Boston Convention Center on Monday, October 17 and our Chair, Dr. Joleen White, presented a summary of the invited webinars, community activities and the list of topics related to Global Health that were presented at PharmSci360. It was amazing that we had over twenty talks that have potential application in Global Health initiatives.

Considering the time difference worldwide, I would like to have our monthly meeting every second Friday of the month, 4 PM EDT.  Please indicate your availability in the following Doodle signup.
