WhyDuke

Welcome to the WhyDuke webinar home page!

There are many potential resources available for educational growth. WhyDuke hopes to provide another avenue to learn more about Duke University School of Medicine. Its purpose is to clarify the curriculum, including DukeMed’s Third Year research program, and the Dual Degree programs, such as Law, Public Health, Business, and Public Policy. It will also focus on the areas of Biomedical Science, Engineering, and Humanities, and also highlight emerging cross disciplinary, Global Health, and Global Health Institute programs. This will introduce the many opportunities for cultural, athletic, and educational growth in the Durham and Research Triangle Park area.

The WhyDuke webinar is a web conference hosted by DukeMed staff members. Any computer with Internet Access, an Internet browser with the latest Flash Plugin support, and audio output is capable of participating.

Session Dates

October 20th - 6pm EST

"Global Health Opportunities at DukeMed"

Global Health is an area for study, research, and practice that places a priority on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide. Global health emphasizes transnational health issues, determinants, and solutions; involves many disciplines within and beyond the health sciences and promotes interdisciplinary collaboration; and is a synthesis of population-based prevention with individual-level clinical care. These are the principles of the Global Health Institute founded in November 2006 at DukeMed. This discussion will describe the problem and DukeMed's answer to help eliminate health disparities worldwide.
