FAIMER is now inviting applications for the 2016 Student Projects for Health competition! The Student Projects for Health competition is supported by GEMx—a global partnership for educational exchange in medicine and the health professions—and FAIMER, and will be a feature of the 2016 conference of The Network: Towards Unity for Health (TUFH) in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China, July 26-30, 2016. Organized by The Network: TUFH and China Medical University, the theme of the conference is Building Trust: A Global Challenge in Health System Reform. Winners will be invited to attend the conference and present their projects. The award includes travel, accommodation, and conference registration fee.
Now in its second year, the Student Projects for Health competition recognizes students who have made outstanding contributions to projects that successfully promote community health and well-being. It is open to all undergraduate and graduate students currently enrolled in any course of study who have been participating in such projects. 10 to 15 winners will be selected and more than one student from the same project may be selected, so all key contributors are encouraged to apply. Each application will require an endorsement by a faculty member closely associated with the project.
Applications will be considered by a distinguished group of international reviewers with a wide variety of expertise in health professions education. Detailed information on selection criteria can be found here.
The deadline for application is April 15, 2016. To apply, click here.
